I gave my partition 32 GB (Fat32)

10 gb is already used by windows and software...
and I was planning on putting on some games on there so that will bring another 10 GB I guess...so 32 is the perfect size for me...

I used 10GB for XP Pro. I have about 6GB left after installation and a few programs I use.

I only went with 10GB because my 160 GB drive is filling up fast. I only have about 40 GB of free space left on OS X. I'll probably need to upgrade to a larger drive in about a year, maybe less.

This is my first Mac, but it really hurt my feelings to install Windows on her.

What size is your BC partition??

Well, I have divided my 160gb MBP drive equally between MACOS and WINXP (FAT32 for better Win/MacOS compatibility).
Then I got an excellent and fast external G-Drive FireWire800 drive also equally divided btw MacOSX and WinXP (FAT32 also) partitions. I plan to put all my voluminous data on the external drive, so as to keep the MBP internals lean.

32GB NTFS for Vista on the 250GB HD in my MacBook. And it's nearly full!

Vista is such a bloat

I set my Windows XP Pro partition to 10GB as I'm only forced to access it twice a year for a total of 4 weeks.

I gave Boot Camp 25GB of space. After installing Office and RCT3 and a few other programs I've got about 15GB left.

:rolleyes:The partition really depends on what you are going to do with windows. I play games like Gears of War, which eats 5G - 10G HD space each. So I got 150G for vista, 60-80G are games files. Though you can install games on external HD, they run much much faster on the internal 7K200 HD.

I allocated 5gb of my 80gb hard drive to Windows XP. I store all of my games, just Civilization IV and Sim City 4 for now, on my 500gb external hard drive.

I only gave 30GB to my Boot Camp partition and I greatly regret it. I am basically using XP for gaming only...and after I started installing games, I realized it wasn't enough. I constantly have to delete game demos to make room for new game installs.
