How Much Space Does Vista Need On A HDD??

Im trying to create a new partition to install Vista Ultimate using Disc Management, but im unsure the size to set the partition.

Does anyone know what size of the HDD Vista needs?

Thanks

 

I would go with a minimun of 30gb, when I installed vista ultimate, the windows folder alone was almost 9gb.

 

i'm almost at 50 GB's and I havent alot of secondary programs loaded yet.

This is just my opinion : I'd use a 80 gigger or better if building with Vista.

 

i just put vista ultimate on last night, and it took up 17.5 gigs itself with no additional programs.

 

OK i have 2 drives, 1 for Windows & 1 for games, music, etc...
Ive set the partition for Vista at 29GB & have installed Vista on it.
It only used 11GB & have 18GB free space on the Vista drive.

I created a partition also for XP Pro SP2 & set it to 24GB.
I was thinking of setting a partition for Black XP 6 as well.

I was thinking of creating 3 partitions on my C drive for my OS's.
Then whats left i could use as storage for films etc.
Would this work?
Would it be worth setting a new partition for Black XP or is that just pointless?

curious does the xp boot way faster?

 

If you mean does XP boot faster than Vista, then Yes i think it does.
Since i only have 2 hard drives, why does it show as 4 in my computer?
Could i just go ahead & install XP onto the Drive called XP(X)?
And would Vista still be in the Vista (V) drive?

Thanks
