Wrong again Win XP is small 1.2gb. Go here for min sizes. http://home.comcast.net/~SupportCD/XPRequirements.html ... From: Mike the mod Date: 01/03/2008...
Assuming that's a typo for 40 GB, I personally wouldn't bother making any partitions on there. But that's just my own opinion. If you really want to partition,...
Hi Ian, you are correct, but all the patches and updates and service packs really bloat the OS. I started with a 3 gig partition for XP Pro then when SP1 came...
40 meg is not enough space for XP. ... From: "David Weaver" <djweaver.groups@...> To: <WinTips-Tricks@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2008...
I tend to disagree, somewhat. XP's space is not the problem it is all the other junk we install and store. Give the PC 512+ memory and it will fly. I do agree...
Answer to igb123@... The disk you install xp on needs far more place than the 1.2G xp core installation. Documents & settings will be on the same disk...
I heartily agree with you. In fact I see many desktops and laptop shipping with 20 gb hard drives equipped with xp pro, office, quickbooks, etc. Many Dell...
I worked on a system recently where the owners did not own a scrap of the software installed, and this system had a 320 gb drive that was 65% full too. Now I...
If I run on software that's copied (or pirated, or stolen), I don't generally know whether it's that until I need to reinstall something. Then I ask for the...
I normally don't snoop around when just fixing a hardware problem, such as a dead power supply. Just curious, how was you able to determine the owners didn't...
It's pretty clear when people of limited means have Adobe suites, Office Pro, and XP Pro (esp when it won't pass Genuine tests). I agree with Tom Mark From:...
Peter, It's not entirely impossible to be implicated as having installed illegal software for a client. But if a system has a valid looking COA sticker on the...
I agree to the slowness but as you say XP can work on minimal systems and does. Vista though does need a faster processor and at least 1gb minimum ram to work...
I did not say the extras only the operating system (core) I have run XP on a 17gb with 60 or more major programs with no problem. ... From: Dolby Date:...
Many thanks to all who responded to my call for help. The system has two 40 Gig disks so I'll follow what appears to be the majority opinion and use one for...
Michael: I think you missed Peter's point all together. I think he said "that while he was working on a clients computer, HE NOTICED that the client had...
It's a great question, Peter, but you'll probably get a different answer from each tech who replies. Anyone who's worked in the field for any length of time...
Ian, All of this is based on your "1.2G" reply. Why would you only provide a theoretical answer to a real world question? No one runs only an OS without ...
... to say the least. I will help as far as I can BUT if I need to reinstall something and you don't have a license my standard response is "I'm sorry I can't...

40 gigs is a lot of of storage. Just a few years back we used to work with 250 megs. With 40 gigs we can accomplish a lot without having to increase the...
