Generally speaking, partitioning is NOT preferred. Optimum recording requires the read/write head of the hard drive to be actively touching the disc as much as possible. Partitioning forces the head to come off of the disc for half of every revolution. so by partitioning, you've effectively turned your 7200 rpm hard drive into a 3600 rpm drive because it's only writing half of the time.
The preferred method is to buy a 2nd drive to record to. Firewire drives are abundantly available. If you can't afford the 2nd drive. Then record to your main drive WITHOUT partitioning.
Recording, do i need to partition my hard drive?
