    I've got a new computer and a new OS. It's been a long time since I've done a Windows install. My old computer has a 30 gig HD in a single volume. My new one has a 300 gig HD, and I suspect I should create partitions for the system, applications, and small data files and large data files. (Have I left any out?)

    I've got some idea how much space for aps, but how much space should I give this version of Windows? Sorry if this seems like a retarded question--as I said, it's been awhile.

    No one can answer this question except yourself, It really depends on how you organize the files. If you have a lot of videos, then you might create a drive to specifically for videos. So ya, you know what I mean.

    My question was how many gigs should I give to my System Volume for Windows XP x64 and its drivers and settings? I wouldn't be keeping video or word processing files (etc), nor routine applications in that volume. But I've a feeling XP x64 will be needing more space than 32 bit XP.
