I personally recommend at least 100 GB, though 20 GB is around the bare minimum. Just make sure there's enough empty space in the hard drive to fit Mac OS X. Enough hard drive space: Though most Hackintosh guides recommend using an empty hard drive, for this guide, you can use a hard drive that already has Windows installed on it.Be sure to read the Hackintosh compatibility guide very carefully, to check whether or not your computer qualifies. A compatible computer: Not every computer will work with Mac OS X, even with the help of tools like ModCD and Multibeast.

This means that you can install Mac OS X on a hard drive that already has Windows on it.

This includes changing "OSInstall.mpkg", the installer inside the Snow Leopard DVD, so that it supports hard drives with a MBR partition scheme. Nawcom's ModCD, a popular alternative to iBoot, modifies parts of the retail Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD so that you can install custom Hackintosh tweaks from within the Mac OS X installer, just like Mac "distros" (except that ModCD is legal). However, it's possible to install OS X on a hard drive without erasing Windows, by using nawcom's ModCD.

(The destination will likely be larger than the source, as 40 GB *SATA* HDDs aren't exactly common.When you install Windows on a hard drive, it automatically sets the partition scheme of your hard drive to MBR (Master Boot Record). I know DU works with images and partitions - I just don't know if it's capable of tackling an entire drive.

Side benefit - currently I have three hard drives (one used entirely for install images/utilities - currently, it's an ex-Dell 40 GB PATA) and I can move it to offline storage (and out of my case) either before or after conversion to SATA. Why? Simple enough - there are no applications or hardware that run only in Snow (either currently or planned to be added post-migration) and it saves from having to reinstall *all*. I'm going to be grabbing this so I can banish Snow from my dual-partition all-OS X HDD after I migrate to Sandy Bridge.
