When going through the Boot Camp install process I chose to set my Windows 7 partition to 80GB as I wanted plenty of space for installing applications.Īfter completing the Windows 7 install I booted back into Mac OS X. My advice therefore relates to Mac OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard and Windows 7, but some of it may be applicable to other versions as well.
I wanted to dual boot with Windows 7 Home Premium so I bought that to. I recently bought a 2010 MacBook Pro 13 inch, the first time I’ve ever owned a Mac. And it doesn’t give help with how much space should be used for each OS. However it doesn’t cover certain issues such as how to set up a third partition that can be read and written to by both Mac and Windows. If you are configuring your Apple Macintosh to dual boot with Mac OS X and Windows there is a good guide on Apple’s website.
