My first hard drive is a 1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD1002FAEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)
would it be advantageous to have a partition say of 250MB for the operating system?

250 "MB"? You'd need at least a 20GB partition in my opinion for Windows 7... However, there won't be any advantages to partioning your hard-drive other than being more organised (which isn't a bad thing).

There are no advantages of partitioning, unless it's beneficial for you personally to have two virtual hard drives for storage.

thanks for that,just read somewhere os & defrag would be faster.

Defrag is largely redundant is using the NTFS file system, there is no logical reason for the OS speed to be affected as its only a partition.
