[QUOTE="CodeCalibre, post: 1113788, member: 172948"] I am a proud new owner of a Macbook Pro (500GB) and I'm a switcher! I have successfully migrated all my Windows stuff to my Mac (mail, itunes, calendar, and contacts). I've also installed NTFS-3G to gain read/write access to NTFS drives. Now I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate via bootcamp. I need some help on helping determining the amount of hard disk space should I allocate the partition for Windows. Mac OSX (Main) - Mail (contacts, calendar) - Movies and Music (iTunes) - Documents (Office:mac) - Web surfing - Few games (StarCraft II) - Some Programming (iPhone, OSX) Windows 7 - Lots of Games - Lots of Programming for Windows and others (Visual Studio, SDKs, etc.) - Movies and Music Now I want to ask if it is possible to just allocate a huge NTFS partition and let Mac OSX and Windows 7 share and gain access to that drive to host my iTunes library??
