Initial partitioning of hard disk for Breezy

Hi have Kubuntu running on Hoary right now, but when I did my initial 
formatting I have just the root dir.

/etc/fstab looks like this:

tim at spike:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda6       /               reiserfs notail          0       1
/dev/hda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/hdd        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

Now that I am looking to upgrade to Breezy I am wondering if I screwed up at 
the start.  I am starting to see the benefits of having home on a separate 
partition.

I do still have a 40 gig partition that holds Windows XP that I haven't booted 
into for six months so maybe it is time for that to go.

If I do a clean install of Breezy, what would you suggest for partitions?

Next question:

If I do a clean install of Breezy into the current XP space, how can I keep 
all my emails... currently using Kontact.

Thanks,
Tim
