Around 30 GB did sound right to me, but I've copied this from the bootcamp install guide.
To format the partition for Windows: Select either NTFS or FAT: NTFS-Provides better reliability and security. Note: If you format the partition using the NTFS file system, you will not be able to write or save files to the Windows volume from Mac OS X. FAT-Provides better compatibility. Allows you to read and write files on the Windows volume from Mac OS X.This option is available only if the Windows partition you created in Step 2 is 32 GB or smaller.
