I am no expert on the matter, but my windows vista home premium sp1 takes up 10GB or so full install. If I were to give it its very own partition, I'd probably give it 15GB to 20GB, but I usually just put it in the same partition as everything else. After a fairly conservative V-lite, my Vista home premium sp1 now takes up 4.17GBs. Where ever you got that 40GB figure from, I don't know...possibly what they said was you could get it down to around 4GB and need at least 15gb free within its partition for running a defragger?
