partition my ass

here is a fun fact: you can only have four primary partitions on a hard drive.
ugh.. guess i never came across this issue before.. but i read this great little post to teach me a bit about partitioning and made me a little less concerned about extended partitions...

so anyway.. before i commit here is my current partitioning scheme

pri - sda2 - fat32 - 6.84 gb (backup drive for windows.. came installed.. i guess it's D:)
pri - sda1 - ntfs - 65 gb (main windows partition, C: - i'm a little concerned about this one as it was the entire drive and i resized it down to 65)
pri - sda3 - ext3 - 15 gb (/ root)
ext - sda4 - 62.21gb (extended partition containing the remainder of the partitions)
ext - sda5 - linux-swap - 2gb (swap)
ext - sda6 - ext3 - 30 gb (/home)
ext - sda7 - fat32 - 30.21 gb (remainder of drive to be used as a shared partition between windows and linux)

well i'm about to commit so prepare for the next post to be some salior like cursing
