[Q] dual boot partition size

hi, i am going in to wm7 again and will dual boot with android.
last time i tried the same a few months ago the partition size for windows 7 had to be bigger than the android/any other one(s)
is this still the case or can the partition be smaller now?
i have a 32gb sd and 'need' more than 20gb for android stuff, music and maps etc.
thanks in advance for any help

you can use smaller WP7 partition

but i recommended better to use 2 sdcard if possible, one for android one for WP7... is few reason why: sdcards work much faster and no fear for loosing android partition when lashing new WP7 ROM...

hi, thanks dxdy for quick answer (1 minute approx)
i hear what you say about the 2 sd cards but its just a pita to carry them both and if i want to play with, er i mean research and investigate, wm7 i just want to hit reboot, select and go.
i didnt have any problems before with the 1 card, just the partition size.
i always have at least 2 or more backups of the card files (and a full image if using wm7) in different places so can recover quite easily even from a complete format.
