How did you set it to 20 gigs? I can only find a button to go with 32.

Guess I'll have to do a defrag and install Cleanup! then. Can I do
defrags and have it only look at the Windows portion of the machine?
I don't want it wandering into Leopard and ruining my things there.

windows makes messes and does not clean them up. it creates empty

What do you mean by messes? And could I just set it to not update?
Like I said, all I really want it for is Greek internet access. So
I'll just be installing my screenreader/s (Hal and NVDA), WebbIE and
Realplayer 8. I might stick in Cicero or Kurzweil for scanning,
whichever does the better job and takes up less room, just incase I
need something quick to read a book or something. Could I use
wireless with it right? I mean, considering that my Macbook has
wireless built-in and that I'm using it on the Leopard side? And
again, lol, how do I actually start Bootcamp?
Thanks,

Actually, in my last install of XP home, I alloted 20 gb and the
entire install plus all of the apps I needed only ended up using 3
gbs. -Take it for what it's worth.

15 seems a bit small to me because there is an 8 gb threshhold for

To start bootcamp, open the boot camp utility in apps/utilities.
You can
print out the uide while you are in the utility and then there is a
buttton
that begins the install process. from there, it's streightforward.

Well, I'm going to install Bootcamp today with sighted assistance.
The person helping me has never used a Mac. So can anyone please
tell
me how to start Bootcamp? I'm assuming that the directions after
that
will be pretty straight forward. She has installed Windows XP
before,
though as a recovery disk for my HP laptop, not just the basic
os. So
how long will this take and will she need to do alot of things this
time around? Also, is 15 gb enough space? I think it may be a
little
too much, but I don't want my screenreader or web browser to run
slowly because I didn't give the thing enough space on the hd.
Thanks,
Tiffanitsa
