Everyone has his/her own way of doing this partitioning bit...due to
FAT32, there is/are less reason(s) for the numerous small partitions,
in some cases...however, some individuals' personal reasons still
matter, and these can vary. I have 2 drives, 5 partitions...it got
that way due to a history of using multiple small drives with
compression enabled...at one time I had 9 partitions...I could have a
single partition on each drive, but this would require a HORRENDOUS
amount of time which I don't have, so it stays the way it is.
