Windows manuals also come with directions.

christ that was a fast reply. thanks. i read the article. should i put my games on a separate partition?

Yes. I make partitions for my documents, games and other things, and barely ever touch the windows partition (only when updating windows do I really do anything to it).

I personally make 2 partitions, one for the OS and one for everything else.
