[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1113799, member: 46727"] The amount of disk space to allocate to Windows 7 Ulitimate depends on what you're going to be doing in Windows. It sounds like from your post that you need quite a bit of space for Windows 7. I'd say around 150 to 200 GB should work. I would keep the iTunes library, movies, music in OS X as it'll be easier to manage. No point in duplicating. Sharing a large NTFS partition for the iTunes library is not a good idea. For one thing, NTFS-3G is a bit buggy and has been known to lose data. Personally, I don't use it because I don't trust it. You can buy ($19.95) a commercial driver ([URL="http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/"]Paragon NTFS[/URL]) which works well and it also allows you to read write both ways. In other words, it also allows you to write to your OS X partition from Windows 7. [/QUOTE]
