First Windows 7 PC arriving Soon and Have Questions

Hi, today I ordered a ZT Affinity Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz 1GB Radeon 5450
Blu-Ray ROM Desktop w/ Windows Professional 64bit.
This will be my first Win7 PC. What should I do before using the PC
everyday?

I'm thinking drop the DVD\Blu Ray player to a very low drive letter, setup a
permanent swap file.
and I'd like to partition the 2TB HDD. Do I need third party software to
partition a Win7 HDD?
What else would you do to set up this PC?

Thanks,

Sam

If you want to partition it, then its the first thing you will hav
to do, use partition magic or a boot CD. remember to activate th
super administrator account. And enjoy your PC, its amazin

Why? He appears to like newsgroups and the fact that MS doesn't want
to provide on for Win7 is their problem, not ours.

Thanks, I may have a copy of parition magic around here.

I'm unclear re:The boot cd. Can I make a book CD then use it to partition
the HDD?

I don't know what a super admin is but I'll figure it out.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Just killfile that leroy bot, that's the only thing it ever posts in
these newsgroups is to go to the MS forums. Must be part of the plan to
get people to abandon the newsgroups so they can pull the plug on them
from "lack of use".
