So to sum things a little for our friend: a separate partiton for system/apps and for the audio files allows to: - keep things tidy, when need ben format the audio partition - keep journalling on the system partition which is a must to prevent problems - keep thing efficient, system, apps, files are not all over the place, partitions helps to find things fast. Now It's better even to have 2 drives, but in a powerbook…
