archmcp Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 two questions: first, can anyone provide insight into how much space to partition to windows vs. macs? I intend to use windows for software (autocad and photoshop primarily) and mac for storage (images and such). second, can i later reappropriate space that was once used by windows pc back to mac? thanks again.

Numberzz Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 well depending on how big ur hard drive is, i would put 20-40gb(bigger if u have vista ) and the rest for mac os x. windows vista home basic takes around 11gb for a clean install, and requires a 20gb hard drive, ultimate needs a 40gb hard drive. but if u have xp, i wouldnt worry about how much space it takes up Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60418-partition-sizing-and-reappropriation/#findComment-429413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
