I, too, just ordered the two-fer deal and installed P5 2 and Dim Pro a few days ago. I think perhaps my experience might be helpful to you. I used Partition Commander to create a dedicated partition on my external hard drive, a drive which also houses a partition dedicated to BFD samples and another partititon for general back-up. I decided to size the DP partition at 10 GB since the documentation indicated 8 GB was required. Leave a little for headroom, and all...
The installation seemd to be successful, however, I ran into the problem where the GPO patches weren't there ("multisamples not found"). I decided to go ahead and install the upgrades and deal with this later. Installed the 1.2 upgrade. Then, when trying to install the XP1 expansion pack, I got an error message saying there was not enough disk space, and so I had to abort.
Looking at my disk in Windows showed that all 10 GB were filled up (?). I then re-sized the partition to 12.5 GB, using Partition Commander. Un-installed, re-installed, and now all of the samples installed to the partition. The GPO set is one of the last to copy over, so that's a tip-off I think.
Bottom line, you need to allocate more than 8 GB for multisamples. And the installer won't tell you that you've not copied over all of the files...
