    Most partitioning software will do the math for you.

    Is this the only drive in the computer? If, so, make the C: partition a little bigger. Over time, the C: drive tends to bloat up with a lot of stuff.

    If this is an ADDON drive, and you already have a root partition (C:) on another drive, then partition 60 gigs into 4 15gig partitions is fine.
