Suggested partition size fro Win7 + CoD

[Robbo88]

I am about to install Win7 as a dual boot (to keep Win XP and all the programs) and intend to use the Win7 as the OS for the game as XP was very flakey.

What size partition would be appropriate for the OS and game? I have plenty of space with c:/ currently 190GB and 158GB free.

I was thinking of 100GB to allow over time for possible migration of some programs to the win7 system.

Any user experience with the dual boot sizing would be appreciated.

i'am dual booting linux 100Gb is enough, but be careful if you're coming from xp you will move everything over time, btw it's an ntfs partition so you could keep it as a storage partition

This question is only for you to decide man.... If your just going to use it for IL2.. then you would only need around 50gigs.. being that windows 7 is about 20gigs and IL2 is about 5gigs.. leaving 25 gig available for updates and whatnot.
