<div class="IPBDescription">Spamthread with a selfish purpose</div> I'm trying to decide how large I should make the operating system partition on a machine I'm reformatting. This'll be my first time moving it up to Windows XP, and I've heard it has a lot more features, and thus takes up more disk space.
To give me an idea of how much space I should allocate, please go to "My Computer" select your folder called "Windows," select the folder called "I386" if you have it, and tell me how big they are. If you want to make a recommendation on the total partition size too, go ahead. (Assume swapfile is on a separate partition).
After enough responses to give me a rough idea, I'll be closing the thread and installing Windows. Thanks.
