>dont make the xp partition less than 4 gigs and with an
80 gig drive I would say 6 gigs is also not too much to
give it,what the other people do and say in reply is fine
but if you are just a home user ,with an 80 gig drive you
dont need to skimp on the partition size for xp,alot of
this talk is now a mute point it is cheaper to get a new
second drive to store data on than have many small
partitions and run out of space you can use for xp itself
and then have to clean install because people have told
you how to save hard drive space and be efficient.
