we are installing it on a box that doesn't have much space and we can't seem to find the required disk space requirements

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0" is 700Mb on my machine with C++ and c# installed.
Figure a Gb with any stuff it's stuck somewhere else and MSDN.

Well, a very unscientific survey of my dev PC tells me it uses 1.67 Gb.
Depends which options you install, I suppose...

The min system requirements can be found Professional Edition system requirements
Hardware requirements:
Minimum: 2.0 GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB HDD
Recommended: 2.6 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB HDD
The min is really 8gb, your forgetting the space you need to run it, compile, sql databases, etc that sort of thing.

really? down voted for stating the obvious? I searched for the disk space requirements for vs on google and by some amazement, the 3rd listing shows the exact answer. Nice that SO is encouraging a people to bypass simple research before asking questions.

I'm with badfish on this one - I guess it's elitist to think my time is valuable. Give a person the answer and they will keep asking, teach them how to answer it themself and they might be able to answer someone else's question.
