Get a backup system going, and have 1 partition on that tiny little 100GB laptop HDrive, HFS+ Journaled. Nobody uses case sensitive that I know of. You really need to rethink how you're going about "saving data" because if the drive fails, you've lost everything, partitioning be damned.
The only safe way to save your data is to do a daily backup of your HDrive or User folder, your choice. I do a nightly backup at 3AM using SilverKeeper v1.1.4, to an external 300GB HDrive, and it's saved me more than once. With the cost of HDrives and external FireWire cases being so low these days, there's no excuse for not having a real backup solution.
