With 1TB to play with, you have quite a bit of room

I would normally make them about 30-40GB which allows plenty of space for the OS and program files.

30-40 should be plenty for each OS, with a separate partition for games

If you are going to be upgrading to Vista or W7 at some stage then I'd make the OS partition around 60-80gb, will save you a major headache in terms of expanding the partition at a later date.

On XP I used 30GB with Win 7 I use 50GB partition.
