Our Windows 2003 server uses a bit more than 3GB on drive c:, there is no user data on this drive.

It is a general rule, that you will not notice significant degradation in the hard drive performance until the drive gets 50% full. I plan the size of any partition accordingly.
In this scenario, you can assume minimum 6GB, but playing it safely, 7-8GB should do it for you.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Boot partition size for Win 2003?

Hi,

Any recommendations for Boot partition size for Win 2003 Server, with 18GB
Ultra 320 Drives? (2 drives, RAID 1).

The HP Proliant Smart Start CD set the default 'recommended minimum' at
4.2GB... that seems kinda low, but the drives aren't very big to begin with
(more than enough capacity for our modest Imail needs).

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks, Daniel
