It's a personal decision really. The only recommendation is to have separate partitions for OS and data, so if you need to reinstall the OS you can do that without affecting your data.
That means 2 partitions. And that's how I have partitioned my hard drive. C: for OS and D: for data.

Some people have their MP3, or documents on a separate partition, or separate installed programs from OS, or application from games.
It depends on you. If it was me, I'd put 2 partitions on it. A 20 GB and a 100 GB one.
