Its completely up to you, if your documents folder is in the D: drive, i would set the D: at about 200GB. If the D: drive is just free space I would set the C: drive at about 250GB. as this would hold your program files and your documents

I am assuming it is just splitting up the hard drive into 2 drives. Depending on how your gonna use it most likely you can just leave it where it is as there isn't really a reason to change it one way or another for the average user.
Thanks,
Lee

Samsung r530 microphone is not working

Check the device manager in the control panel to make sure that the internal microphone is not disabled. If you can re-enable it in device manager, it should re-appear in the sound set-up, so you can select it as the default microphone.

Samsung r530 bad sector hard drive. Did not come with operating software disc.

Remove the HDD and test, replace if necessary. You can contact Samsung, with your laptop Serial Number, and purchase a Factory Recovery DVD. Or, you can buy a Windows Installation DVD and do a Fresh install on the new HDD.

My Samsung R530 won't boot, just shows blue screen of death on startup, states "A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage blah blah blah Unmountable_boot...

So many computer face this blue screen fetal errors on windows.

This error comes usually when there is problem in software or driver compatibility issue with hardware or operating system.
Also this error comes when there is bed indexing unit in hard drive.
You can solve this errors with following 2 methods.
(1)When you power up the computer press F8 key then enter in safe mode.
Then if you are able to enter in safe mode then uninstall driver or software which you installed recently and face this error.
(2)If you are not able to enter in safe mode Then you need to fix error on hard drive.For that you need windows disk or recovery disk.
Boot your computer with that disk
For that when you power up the computer press F1 or F2 "del" key to enter in bios.
Then go to boot menu and set first boot device as your cd or dvd rom.
Then save settings and exit bios.
Insert windows disk in cd /dvd rom.
Then it boot with that disk.Then you get this message "Press any key to boot from cd.."
Then press any key.
Then follow the procedure then enter in recovery console mode then type in prompt "chkdsk /r"
Then type "y"
Then it fix error on hard drive.
Then check if again you are not able to enter in windows then boot again and this time choose "R" option for repair previous windows " then it repairs old windows then it loads again old windows.

My brother's samsung r530 wont boot up as it is asking for a password before booting up window 7 what should I do?

That is most likely the BIOS password, the best solution would be to ask your brother for the password so that you can boot to Windows and use it.
