I would also strongly recommend (if you are confident enough to partition manually) making a seperate /home partition, as well as the standard / partition (root). If you are using the entire disk, make a 20-30GB root partition, just incase you decide to install the world on your HDD, among other things as root can fill up quite quickly, and give the rest to /home.
In addition to this, if you are using ubuntu 9.04/9.10, use the ext4 filesystem as this is a LOT faster than ext3.
