I think keeping one drive (C) for everything avoids problems about predicting how much room you would need in each of two partitions. In my google search I see a lot of people underestimated the C (OS drive). See: http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-xp/programs-keep-installing-to-d/174839.html You should also think about your backup strategy as having your data on D drive might simplify this. I have worked at two major companies where they had Programs and OS on C drive and user docs on D drive. In the far past limitations of FAT32 were an issue on max partition size, but with NTFS and later there should be no issue.
