Hi Dave,
Unless you are really tight on disk space, I would avoid making a
"specialized" installation. Sometimes when you do this, the auto-update
process will not be complete and/or will not update your configuration
because some file(s) are missing. That said, using Parallels, my "C:\"
drive
is 12 GB. This is a full and current XP Pro, the complete Office 2007,
plus
(even though I suggested you not do it), Excel 2003.
