Partitioning hard drive for XP

[Carasina]

I am installing XP on my mac laptop and am not sure how much space to partition. The laptop's total space is about 235GB with currently 50GB free. I will only be using Windows for a few specific programs: Autodesk: Toxik, Mudbox, Motionbuilder and Cleaner XL. I probably won't be using the programs too extensively either, I mainly use Maya and I have the OSX version of that. Based on that info I was hoping to get a rough estimate on how much space I should partition for XP, I don't want to go too low and not be able to install and use everything but at the same time I don't want to put too much space on the XP partition either and end up with wasted space.


Thanks so much in advance

I would never install Windows XP in anything less the 32GBs. I know that you can do a 10GB partition, etc.

Look at how cheap 500GB hard drives are today. I suggest that you upgrade drives and free yourself of the drive space worry for now.
