Richard,

There is really no advantage to having different partitions on a hard drive.
You can accomplish the same thing with different folders.

Regardless of where you put your scratch disk’s  (as long as its not your
system drive), Make sure that the Scratch disk is large enough so that it
stays less that 65% full.    This will give you the best performance with
what you have.  Also never put the Scratch Disk on a separate USB or
Firewire drive.  It will slow you  down a lot.
