yet another partition question.

[wolfeking]

Ok, I got my last question answered via an extended partition.

My question now is what is the minimum partition size that I can use for Windows 7 or vista to install. I just need it to run 1 program, and I have a Data partition so I don't need much space. I just want the bare minimum. I know the spec for microsoft is 40GB, but I think it can go smaller than that.

If windows 7 then.

•16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

If vista then.

•40 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space (20 GB for Home Basic)

Frankly, I wouldn't go any lower than 30 gb.
