[QUOTE="Noels, post: 699216, member: 49942"] Straitsfan, You have plenty of space on your hard drive, and the numbers look to be correct for OS X on a 500GB hard drive. Here's a little info on your 500GB hard drive. Because of the way Gigabytes are measured, you'll end up with about 466GB usable on your drive. Take a look here: [url]http://blog.backblaze.com/2008/03/21/how-many-bytes-are-in-a-megabyte-really/[/url] I would use a 32GB partition and you'll have plenty of space for all the Windows activity you want... The answer to your question is "Yes," if you remove the Windows partition all you should have left is OS X... You're good to go. Good luck with your new Macbook, Noel [/QUOTE]
