I upgraded to a new hard drive. How should I set up my partitions?

I upgraded from a 200gb ATA/133 drive to a 400gb SATA 2.0 drive. I already cloned my OS partition to the new drive. But what is the best way to split things up. I have a Windows XP installation, an Ubuntu installation, a bunch of data and a swap file that has to go somewhere. I'll be keeping both drives. Any help is appreciated.

Keep your data on the 200gb is my recommendation if you're using the 400gb for Windows and games, etc. It's nice to be able to wipe an installation and reinstall it when the problems seem to be taking longer to figure out than a fresh install and update would.

As a university computer science student I would help you to partition your drive, but seeing as you unjustifiably accused me of committing a criminal offense on my simple question about the functions of Windows Home Server, I think your on your own - careful though, one false move and you say bye-bye to your OS!
