I've waited for Bootcamp to be a part of Leopard. Got my new XP disk and printed out my instructions. Now, how big of a partition is "reasonable???" All I want to put on is a few baseball games such as Strat-O-Matic, Diamond Mind Baseball and my office Checkbook. I noticed the "default" is 32 GB. Pretty standard?????

I have a MacBook Pro with a 120 GB HD. I've used 60 GB already. So I'd have another 30 to use. I don't really plan on adding a whole lot more to my Mac, maybe Tiger Wood EA Sports game for Mac, i Tunes stuff like books, etc, but that's it.

Also, how long does it take to install XP??? Not sure how much time to allot to this.

BTW, can I put Windows XP on an external HD, so as to not potentially harm my Mac HD with a stray virus, etc????? Or is that a no.no??

Thanks.

Frank
