I dont think there is a defined size for the partition. I have a 150GB partition and it works ok.

Actually, Microsoft limited FAT32 partition size to 32GB for WinXP, but WinxP supports FAT32 partitions larger than 32GB created by other OS or tools.....
So, if u create the partitions using the fdisk utilty provided in the WinXP CD itself, u will be limited to 32GB max size.....but u can create partitions greater than that,the thing is, u have to use "fdisk" of Win98 (or win98 bootable floppy),and then u can WinXP install in this big partition...

Jesus H. Christ. How many threads has this guy created for the same topic? Besides, I also had the misfortune to answer this in another post. Must get new glasses!

Bad Bad Boy! Why dual posts?

4 GB is the minimum as far as I know.
No maximum limit.
