That's correct. (I assume you mean the 475GB partition though.)
Usually you will also want a /home partition as well.

Despite suggestions I plan to create only the partition for "/" and a
swap partition
I don't need very much the /home one. And often I put docs and such inside
the ntfs-3g mounted Windows partition so I can access them both from Linux
and Windows (even if I have t pay performance/cpu cycles penalty for this).

Just to express some more opinion without providing more useful
technical help, I like to have a /home partition. That way you can scrub
the OS (either OS) without having to worry about /home. I entirely agree
with having a shared NTFS partition to share data between the OSes, but
I'd just keep a convenience symlink to it in my home dir.
Of course having a separate /home brings the pain of deciding how much
room to give to the / partition.
Only this morning I bought a 64GB SD card for our home server, since its
4GB boot drive is full (the boot drive is an SD card on the motherboard,
very neat). That machine has a separate /home on a separate 500GB SSD;
the boot drive is just the OS: the SSD has /tmp and /var.
I've also go one of these:
ORICO USB 3 Transparent 2.5" SATA SSD HDD Hard Disk Drive Enclosure Case

that I'm meaning to make easy to velco to the back of my laptop lid at
some point.
