How much USB space do I need for bootcamp?

I previously used bootcamp with a 512MB USB and bootcamp said that I don't have enought room. Can someone help me and tell me how much I need?

MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Boot Camp drivers take 600 MB at least, but this can increase depending on your computer. To store the Windows support software, you need a USB drive with 1 GB or more.


If you want to install Windows from a USB drive and you want to create the Windows installation drive onto the USB drive, you need a 8 GB USB drive or a bigger one
