one whole drive is actually not very reccomendable, since you'll have a lot of backing up to do or you'll lose everything each time you reformat.

two partitions is better that way, cause you can store the data you need on the D: drive withour having to backup your stuff

I agree with you El_Coyote. Two drive is better then one.If you want it to become one, you can use boot bisk (FDisk) to format your drive into FAT32 and then enable the large disk option while partitioning, you can then format it again into NTFS.By using this way all your files will gone.The other way is to use partiotion magic 7.0/8.0 and merge them together without partitioning, but it is not freeware though. Anyway maybe you can get a shareware at their web page. Just search in google.
