My Vista partition is 12Gb. Got pretty full when I first started installing Office, Adobe Pro, etc. Switched the page file and temp directory to another partition, now have 4Gb free.

 

20Gb would be perfect.

It is very much up to you, really. It depends mainly on what you want to install. Keep in mind that most games need a lot of space and that you'll need space to defragment (I mean, a Windows partition should never be almost full).

I usually make the OS partition small just for the OS, pagefile, and hibernation file. For Vista, you'll need at least 15G to have breathing room or else you'll eventually see low-on-disk-space warnings. For apps and all other data, just install on another partition.

Didnt you guys think of just downloading an .ISO of just the version of Vista you have? Like I bought Ultimate. And because I bought it I didnt have to search for cracks and such. And Vista only uses like...4 gbs. Actually this is wierd...how can it be using only 4 gbs?... :whistle:
