You don’t have to worry about setting up the partition of your hard drive if you are planning on installing the latest Windows 8 operating system. If you have plenty of space in your hard drive then there would be no problem.

After reading your description I felt more assured, and I now know that if I have enough space in my hard drive I can easily install Windows 8. I also learnt that disk preparation and partitioning during the installation of Windows 8 will be done mechanically.
