UNIX ?
Steve,
My 200 meg drive was once a single partition. Late one night I decided to
format a floppy in df0: As it started to format I woke up really quickly
when I saw it was formatting the first of several hundred tracks. I
aborted immediately, but too late. The first track of my hard disk had
been reformatted. I sweated for several hours to restore all that data.
Since then I, like you, believe in several partitions per hard disk!
