Initially? 4 Gb should do it.
Later is another matter......

Depends on what else you want to run, not just windows. 40Gb is normally enough for Windows and a good few programs, maybe more if you want a heap of games.

I don't partition any drives as i see it if a drive is going to fail having it partitioned is not going to help. I have lost a few over the years, backup helps.

I use a seperate drive for any work and personal stuff and several other fast drives for digital video and client backups. (7 internal Drives total).
