I am reinstalling XP on my 150GB Raptor and will eventually dual boot with Vista 64 Ultimate as well, but not anytime soon. My question is, how big should I make each partition? I've heard that Vista takes up more space than XP, but I use XP a whole lot more (I don't even have Vista yet, but I don't want to reinstall XP again when I do get it). So is it best just to leave half for each OS, or give one more room than the other, say 80GB and 50GB (after formatting)
Also, after I install XP, is there any benefit/reason not to go ahead and format the second partition that will be used for Vista? I know it will be reformatted when I actually install Vista, but is it bad for the HD or anything to have all of that unformatted space?
Thanks a lot
