Ramon,

Are you sure you have enough disks ? If the OS is on one disk that only leaves three disks for the database. This is considered the *absolute* bare minimum to run a database - on any platform! You may well find that the system is I/O bound. (This is very application/user activity dependent though :-) )

As for partitioning disk 0 - what parts of the OS do you really need on a DB machine? A minimal install should be ok. Basically whatever you chose the installation routine helps considerably in getting the right partition sizes.
