Hi!
Bought the ASRock ION 330 and have tried different installations (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, XBMC Live, Ubuntu + XBMC).
Conclusion led me to install a "XBMCbuntu" version (I'm making a guide for ASRock ION 330 HTPC setup)
Since the ASRock ION 330 came with a 2.5” HDD 320GB HD I'm wondering what is the best way to partition my disk?
I have a Windows Network (AD 2003 domain) which primarly servers my services and media files already + ReadyNAS 4TB with CIFS activated.
Suggestion 1:
20 GB: Linux Partitions, XBMC.
300 GB: Windows partition, Storage (NTFS)
Suggestion 2:
320 GB: Linux Partitions, XBMC, Storage.
Thanks in advance!

- Is it anything I need to consider having mixed Windows and Linux paritions?
- Can Linux (XBMC) access the other NTFS partition?
- Can Linux share out the other NTFS partition (like a Windows Workstation)?
- Recommandations pro vs cons?
Thanks in advance!
