I agree.  My C: drive is only 510MB, FAT16, with a 8KB cluster size.
Keeps those small system files from hogging the whole drive.
The rest of my two hard disks are divided into 5 other FAT16 drives,
with a 1GB partition for Win2K, formerly used by WinNT.
If I have any problem with a single drive, I can always copy the data
on it to another drive, and reformat the problem drive, as long as it
isn't C: of course.  I hate that so many programs are written to install
to C: drive automatically.  And so many small programs don't even
give an option to install to another drive.  I only want system data
or programs on C:.  Reference on D:, Games on G:, Apps on H:,
and a 300MB I: drive for my swap file, just to keep it orderly.
