Dual Booting XP & LL2 with shared data partition.

<< < (2/2)

Jerry:
I suggested to use Windows XP on Youtube? Where is this video? No one should be running XP unless it is offline (not connected to the internet, or lan) regardless of 'tips and tricks' etc. Just plain not safe.

m654321:
I am thinking of dual-booting one of my laptops with Win XP and LL2, using a fresh install of each OS, with a common (shared) DATA partition for the contents of 'home' (with the exception of 'Desktop' which wont be shared).

I'll use service pack 4 to patch Win XP, as well as one or two other tips to enhance its security, as suggested by Jerry (Jerry Bezencon) on his extremely helpful YouTube videos.

My question is roughly how much HDD space should I apportion for each operating system?  I was thinking of 40GB for each but maybe I could get away comfortably with much less?

Many thanks for any comments.
Regards
Mike
