So this is one disk with two partitions? If so, I wouldn't care about
the sizes much. Having a different partition is good for backups.

If those were two disks, I probably would have moved NTDS and SYSVOL to
the other disk as well, just to seperate disk I/O for core OS and DS
files better.

Cheers,
Florian
