Hi,

I made the decession to build my own hackintosh. :D I used the guide to buy all the needed hardware. Now i am almost ready for the second step.

I bought a 120gb ssd but i have some questions about partitioning. What is a "good" partition: 30gb windows7 and 90gb osx? Is 30gb enough for win7? I only use my ssd. My hackintosh will not have additional hdd's

Thanks in advance
 
40 OSX + 80 WIN7 is how I would go and put user files on a HDD separate from the OS's.
 
Windows 7 uses about 20GB of space, but OS X only uses 5GB. If you are not going to simply split the SSD in half (2x 60GB), then Windows 7 should get the larger partition since it has a bigger footprint.

Thanks for your fast response. I will split in half :D
