how much minimum hard disk space is required for a Microsoft Virtual PC installation of Windows 7 32bit ultimate version?

About the same as you would require for an installation on a real computer. Say 30GB or so.

My XP64 (VM) installation is currently using 24.5GB disk space. That's with a few programs installed. I'm not sure how much a bare-bones installation would take, but I'd guess at least 16 GB.
