I just want a concensus to the size of everyones partition for vista. I am going to dual boot xp pro and vista 64. I made xp 45gb because I will not be putting a lot of info on that partition. I was wondering what you thought a good size for vista will be? I was thinking around 100-120gb. I have many large programs to install like adobe CS3, office 07, etc that take up a lot of space. I want to future proof it for size. What is your take on this?
I have seen some people say 20gb. Do you not put anything on this partition? That seems so small.

Well see my post about Vista ultimate with sp1 is now 19 GB just for the windows folder alone- I have Office some minor apps and 5 decent games- farcry-c&C-World In conflict etc and that takes my entire 74 GB raptor alone- no music movies or any data files just programs and windows itself.

If you arent a gamer than 50-70 might be fine but if you plan on having 10 games at any point go with 120 just to be sure.

I have 3 partitions on my main drive and only one on the other. My vista is at 50gb as I am only putting the os and several small apps on this drive. All the other apps are on my other separate drive. My problem is that somehow the vista drive keeps filling up and I don't know why. I can't find anything that is adding up to 41gb that it says it is full of. Where could it be?
