I am about to install VPC 6.1 with Win XP Home edition.
Should I partition my HD? I've never partitioned my drive before so I'm pretty much dumb in that area anyways.
I read somewhere one should partition the drive to have OSX on one partition, XP on another and all the software including VPC on the rest. Is this correct?
Is this necessary and what is the benefit if any?

No you shouldn't do this. VPC stores its files on a disk image, and does not need to be installed on a seperate partition, nor is there any benefit of doing so.
Simply follow the instructions in the VPC manual.

Set the virtual disk size to be more than you think you need, but make sure it is dynamically expanding.
And XP....good luck
