UPDATE

OK Thanks all it's done and installed. I've gone with the following for now.

hdb1 /boot 502.0 MB
hdb2 swap 1.0 GB
hdb3 /data 2.0 GB

hdb5 / 10.0 GB
hbd6 /usr 8.0 GB
hbd7 /var 8.0 GB
hbd8 /opt 8.0 GB
hbd9 /home 76.9 GB

Just one final HDD question for when I rewrite the drive. It's a Maxtor
120GB but I only get 114.4. Can I any more out of this drive and where do I
start my search.

TIA
