That depends on how you setup your image. You can allocate the disk space before, or allow the image to grow. I have a Windows XP image that's about 1.2GB but can grow up to 8GB.
I don't think it matters if you use fdisk or whatever to make your partitions.. even though they are there.. vmware somehow tricks the os into believing it "has" the full amount.. even though vmware is dynamically managing the partition size.
