ntfs fat32 partition install vista

hi i'm about to partition my hard drive so i can install vista and i was wondering what file system to use. currently me hp pc has a 200gg hard drive partitioned 185gb - ntfs and 5gb fat32 (for backup) which file system is better? also if i give mtself 60gb for vista will that be enough? any ideas?
Many Thanks, Hish

Vista requires NTFS. It needs at least 15GB, so 60 is more than enough for the OS and applications.

I think you'll need more than 5GB for backup.

FAT32 is not an option.

Note that the answers to this question are not individual, but are totally NECESSARY. Vista will NOT install on a FAT32 partition.

Hahaha. @ Colin Barnhort...change the word FAT32 into Failure, and you got a Coach Boone right there.
Failure is not an option.
Take a chill pill!
