i partition my hdd about 20GB. Cos' i install some software like CS3, WC3 etc.. Minimal i would say is 4-5GB. The installation is about 3Gb+ if you don't install multiple language and also printer drivers.  wink.gif

I would really suggest installing on it's own drive. If you take the time to set osx up right  on the right hardware, you are going to like it more and more. Increasing the size of the partition is a big pain, save yourself the time and just install on an extra drive. Bootloaders can end up being a real headache also, better just to use your bios to choose the drive. Fudged MBRs are no fun.

Thanks for your suggestions,you mean use another hard drive for os x?
