Smallest XP Partition Size

[coreyammons]

I even read the XP box but, what would be the smallest possible and the smallest advised partition size I could use for XP.

I do not plan to use XP for much at the time right now. Just more of a "because I can" sort of thing.

Thanks!:confused:

My base install of XP looks like it took about 5GB, maybe 5.2GB, before I started loading other applications.

I'm at 6.7GB and that's with a full install of Office 2003 and a few other (smaller) programs. I would think 10-15GB would be more than enough.

That's funny because I thought the opposite...: "what's the smallest partition size I can put OSX on ??" :D
So OSX just takes 9Gb (the minimum I can get with BootCamp installer !!) and the rest is for XP :D:D

i would probably go with atleast 10 for the pagefile...

you should be able to load XP onto about 2 GB, but then it'd probably run slow which is why they say to use atleast 5GB...

good luck
