yesterday struggling with space issues on two XP VMs that had been
allotted 10 GB - unless the OP is really struggling with space
issues and is absolutely certain they will never install much on
their XP VMs, I would recommend 15 GB allocations - hard drive space

I think Steven was talking about memory, not drive size. Depending
on the amount of system memory, you may want to increase that.

As far as disk space, you may want to create another virtual drive
that you can connect to the XP VMs. I have a 50 GB drive just for
media files.
