My new computer should arrive today, and my plan is to format the drive to remove all the bloatware that Dell installs (trial software, AOL, etc.), and then reinstall XP.

Any thoughts, ideas?
Here's my current thinking on partitioning:
- System partition of only 4.3 Gig, so that I can back up the system to one DVD (the backup will be created (or restored) by booting from a CD with a backup app on it from Nero).
- Working partition of about 8 Gig, so that with compression, I can fit a backup on one CD.
- Partition of 4 Gigs for the page file.
- Big partition for other stuff.
Any thoughts, ideas?
