During the Setup process you are given the option of creating a new partition and changing the file structure (Fat 32 or NTFS).

IF you want to partition your HD read the setup options very carefully.

Only partition the area for your C Drive, all the other partitions can be created from within windows using the Disk Manager inside the Computer Management Utility. (C:\WINDOWS\system32\compmgmt.msc)

Defrag etc will need to be run on each partition because windows recognises the partitions as seperate drives.

On another note my 160 GB drive only has a formatted capacity of 146.8 GB so do not be alarmed if you seem to lose space.
