How much disk space does windows xp pro need

You guys are quick! That about covers what I needed to know. One more question, if I may. Am I correct in assuming that the OS and all "programs" should be on the same partition and all my saved documents, media, etc.

Thanks, again. Reason: If all my programs are on C and I have to do a reformat and reinstall, I've still got all my programs and I don't have to look around for the disks. Since the programs are on D, when I need to use whatever all I have to do is click on the.

EXE file to reinstall. Also, my C partition is 7. Pete suggested this when I set up my current HD and it really seems to be an improvement over my previous configuration. Arie ,. Thx Arie. I did however just dump SP3 from my machine. With the shutdown issues I was having, and never seeing any benefit to SP3 I decided to strip it and now the machine shuts down properly.

For example, Windows XP Professional needs to have a minimum amount of memory and hard drive space. Additional features require having a CD or DVD drive installed, as well as a video card and sound card. Computers that do not have necessary components installed need to be upgraded or replaced prior to installing XP Professional. Microsoft recommends having at least MB of RAM installed for the operating system to function correctly. However, having MB installed provides a faster and more productive experience.

Windows XP Professional requires at least 1. How does this work? My braiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin… it hurts. Away I go. Wish me luck. I may have to call it a night soon. What a waste of time. I just keep reformatting it. Great approach on keeping your data apart from the OS partition, I wish more people followed suit… then again most people barely know what a partition IS.

I usually give it 40GB but I install most of my programs on another partition. Haha, not likely. This question is in the General Section.
