#173303 - HD partitioning - need sugestion

Hello...
As this is a chat board I believe I can chat about eveything...

I had a problem in my hard drive and will need to repartition and reformat it.
It is a 250gb and I had 6 partitions in it, 1 for system and all other for my files.

What I want a sugestion is... how much partitions should I make?
I had many partitions for my files but there is no why to have so much.

So I'm in doubt.. should I make only 2 partitions? 1 for system and 1 for my files?
Maybe 3 partitions? 1 for system and 2 for files?

Say me what you think.

Thanks.
