How much harddrive space for XP SP2?

I am using Boot Camp to install Windows XP SP2 in the FAT32 format. I need this to run Microsoft Office 2007 and some other Windows programs (no games). Does the hardrive partition need to be divisible into 32 for FAT32 (i.e. 8GB, 16GB, etc) or does it not matter? I am thinking about 10 or 12GB for the partition. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

10 or 12 would be fine. There is no magic in multiples of 8 in this case.

  • How much disk space for RT OS

    Hi all
    RT OS (Desktop) has a problem: If disk is full RT OS won't start.
    So I have to limit the amount of file output of my RT application to a reasonable value.
    To do this I read free disk space at start of my application (using GetFreeDiskSpaceEx), so I can enshure that MY apllication will not write more data than available space (e.g. by deleting old data).
    But I don't know how much disk space the operating system will need while running.
    Can anybody tell me a value to calculate with?
    Many thanks in advance!

    A general rule of thumb is that the OS needs roughly 25MB of storage for temporary files, .ini files, persistent storage, and the like.  Don't suck your usage below 25MB and you should be able to minimize your surprises.
    NOTE:  This number was obtained empirically via not-so-stringent testing.  Your mileage may vary.

  • How much HD space for Local Time Machine?

    Hi and thanks for reading..
    I am noticing that since i have instlled Lion, if I cancel a file (even big) and empty the trash, the free space in my HD does not decrease.
    May be it is due to the local time machine backup?
    I have tried to connect the external time machine backup but after the time machine backup I have no improvement in the internal HD...
    Any suggestion?
    I am also wondering how much HD space is dedicated to the local Time Machine Backups.
    Thanks, bye

    I believe this will answer your questions.

  • How much drive space for FCS 2

    How big is FCS 2 and can it be installed on a external hard drive instead of on the computer?

    11GB media for LiveType
    9Gb media for DVDSP
    8GB media for Motion
    4GB media for FCS tutorials
    There are also many GB's of audio for Soundtrack Pro, but I don't remember how much and it's hard for me to figure out at this stage. I suspect about 15GB comes on the installs.
    If you're trying to figure out how large an external to install all this on, I would consider anything > 60GB just fine.

  • How Much Harddrive space should your computer library folder

    My library folder on my imac 80 gig is 12 gbs, i had my friends who also have macs check theirs, they were about an average of a gig. I also have alot my programs like finalcut, photoshop.garageband,soundtrack, i rarly use them so should my folder be that big and what danger would i be facing if i delet some of it, i kno its probly not good but yah im not sure

    You might want to find your Caches folder and poke about in there to see if there's one taking up a lot of space. Be careful what you remove from there as some cache files may contain information you'd like to keep (like iChat pictures).

  • How much HD space should I partician for Windows XP?

    I am upgrading to a new (2010) iMac i5 with 1 TB HD and I was wondering how much disc space I should make for Windows XP? I only have a couple of special apps that I use in Windows and the attending files do not take up much space so other than the OS I may not need too much, but would appreciate a little starting point. Thanks.

    I got this mixed up with my Shakespearean readings. I should be partition. I hit the key before reading.

  • How much disk space is needed for scratch files?

    I hope I am allowed one dumb question.  If so, I would like to know how much disk space should I allow when setting scratch files, if my MTS file is 16GB?  I am using Premiere Pro CS5 on a PC with Windows 7 Pro-64 bit.

    All of it.  Put them on a large disk (500GB or more) and just let PP take care of the rest.

  • How much disk space does a typical system start up disk use?

    I am trying to partition a 640 GB hard drive for my 17" MacBook Pro. I created a partition of 30GB for the "System Start Up Disk", and after installing the original Tiger OSX software, and then doing the Leopard Upgrade Install, It says that I am out of disk space on that partition.
    Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
    How about disk space for Applications?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Why do you want to partition that disk?
    Does anyone know how much disk space is sufficient for a typical System Start-Up Disk?
    When not booted from that drive (meaning, I believe, that it's not allocating swap or page space) my OS X 10.5 system uses 68.4 GB, including 10 GB for applications, 2.5 GB for the Developer folder, and 25.5 GB for user folders.

    But you can't install XP if you have a new Mac.
    Try running XP in a VM or aquire Windows 7 which is the only one supported now.
    And you will need more like 60GB for Windows 7, so I would skip on 20GB just to be safe.
    20G is a fine minimum for XP, I was not responding to any inquiry about Win 7.
