The reason I'm considering partitioning is the following article that
I read that made sense, not only to possibly improve performance, but
to organize my drives in a way that makes defragging and backups
easier.

I've navigated to the Windows XP Disk Management Utility and I
couldn't find a way to divide the one giant partition that contains
the operating system and applications already installed on my new PC.
That's why I figured a third party product would offer this. But it's
true that I'm not looking to resize partitions after the initial
setup, so if I can somehow partition with this utility I will. After
all it must have this capability if the utility even exists in the OS,
right?
I have 2 SATA drives, one of which in completely unformatted I
believe. The other, OS and Apps, is formatted in NTFS. I assume I
should format the other in NTFS as well if I'll be swapping files back
and forth from partitions of the soon to be audio data disk to those
of the OS/App disk?
Thanks,
