HI cmspaz- here's the deal. Today I created the server(Window 2003 web edition server) and I used 12GB as the boot partition size. I was installing one of the applications that's going on that server as it said Not enough disk space. I forgot about the partition size. Basically my C: drive only had about 5GB left after installing the OS, updates&patches, etc. because the C: was only 12GB to start with. So I went into Disk Management under control panel and saw the rest of the disk array unpartitioned. Basically I can partition the remainder but as a different drive letter such as D: I just really don't want to do that. I've done that before with PC's having multiple drives/drive letters and having applications scattered between different drives and it can be a nightmare.

I've built numerous servers before but I was just wondering how everyone else does it. One big C: drive/ single partition?
