General Software Discussion / Re: Finally made it to Windows 7 -- looking for partitioning reccomendations

Backups should be on another drive for both performance sake and reliability; therefore, I would have K and B on another drive. Using D for a HDD probably meant changing the letter for your optical drive so I would have used U for user files instead. I cannot think of any reason to add P instead of the default C drive.
Using separate partitions is not as popular as it once was. Many of the utilities for backup, recovery, cleaners, etc. do not work well if programs and files are in a separate partition. Just remember that when running such tools.
