I like to keep my data on separate volumes detached from any specific OS - but I may be peculiar in that so take what I say with a grain of salt. Here are the steps I followed: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/qubes-users/c-XQTfa_l-Y/IkY8x3u6BwAJ It's easy to adapt that for an internal drive. Might be slightly more complicated for a USB drive, depending on your personal USB strategy.
