server configurations

I think it's a personal preference issue.

For a (MSWindows) server, I generally prefer to keep C:\ just big enough for the OS and core applications and then put everything else on the second partition. That keeps backup easier.

I'd stick with what you've got unless you have some good reason for changing it to the 80/64 you mention. If they are on the same physical drive or controller, it won't make a performance difference.

You neglect to mention some additional information but I will add some generalities. Your description indicates a 1U pizza box server as in the HP DL260 class with 2 Hard drives.

First off, you really really want HW RAID. Software raid is not worth the hassle or cost it adds to what you are trying to protect. Make sure you have hardware monitoring and alerting (HP Has SIM for free, Dell has their own solution).

If you are going with a Windows OS server and serving web pages, then you will want your 'applications' to reside off the OS drive. I would suggest lean towards 14-18GB for the OS partition and the D: drive house the wwwroot and files directories and such.

The main reason is you do not want a drive full condition to stop your OS. You will also want to hard set your page file size to be the same intial and ending setting.
