While you're at it I seriously recommend creating 4 or 5 
"logical drives" or partitions. If you're into movies and stuff, 
make one or two big, and the others smaller. It'll be like 
having 5 small filing cabinets instead of one. IOW, a LOT easier 
to manage/find stuff.
I have 16 partitions on my 40GB drive and I am VERY happy with 
this arrangement.
