Thanks Dirk.

Windows is nearly installed so I'll move on to Gentoo in the next hour
or so. I went with a 10G NTFS partition and will use the rest for
Gentoo. I've been using a Windows etx3 driver to access Linux
partitions so I'll do that here and set up a common personal data area
for both environments where I can keep my files. I've also got about 8
external 1394 and USB drives so if I need more of anything I can
always plug one of them in.

I really appreciate everyone's inputs. Thanks!

Cheers,
Mark
