    To people who did a clean installment of English Vista:

    What version of vista did you install on your TZ?

    Ultimate, and Home Premium - How much free space did you leave for the partition? Microsoft said minimum 15GB for all versions of vista.

    Outrigger - I believe you left only 8GB on your partition for windows home premium. Isn't that just a little too small?

    My specs (32GB and Optical Drive). As you are aware, I only have 32GB. I just wanted to allocate my space wisely.

    Thanks.

    No, the 8GB partition isn't for the OS, its just for downloads, and programs.
    I have about 21GB partition for the OS which is more than sufficient.

    Please excuse my ignorance, but Outrigger, how much GB have you then free for documents and other stuff?

    For me, this is of utmost importance, because I am afraid 32 GB SSD are a bit too little for the Vista and programs and documents?

    Thanks for the reply.

    outrigger,

    you created 2 partitions (21GB for OS and programs and the other 11GB for data)?

    thanks.
