Personally I would agree with 2 partitions but no more unless there are some very specific circumstances.. any more then 1 partition for the operating system and 1 partition for storage is over kill and because of how partitioning works you will actually lose some space.. but thanks for fixing this up.. i'm sure it definitely helps people out who haven't done clean installs before phew thats better thanks :)

also this needs to be proof read.. badly..

No matter how thorough you are, you are bound to forget something - such as first de-registering your copy of Dreamweaver with Adobe before re-installing it with the same key. With hard drives being so inexpensive I firmly believe in either cloning my current installation to an old scrapped drive - or (preferably) buy a new drive for the new installation. This way you can always go back and get that one thing you forgot.
