xp on 20 gb drive

[benzimm86]

Is it possible to install win xp on a 20gb drive and still have room for service pack 2

 

[idiotec]

Should be fine...

I just installed a XP professional + sp2 + all patches from microsoft and a diagnostic program

took me 3gb in total

so 20gb is more than enough

btw, the minimum Hdisk requirement is 1.5 gb and recommend is 2.0 gb if I remember right.

if i were you, i would spend about $100 on an 80gig hard drive, for more games, movies, mp3's, ect. 20gb is enough to run an OS, but how many games you plan on installing?

 

[ZeroX]

yeah that's plenty for xp and sp2.

XP itself is only around a gig or something. I am not sure about SP2. How much does SP2 cost ?

 

[locki433]

The service packs are free

You can get a 80GB for less than 100$ nowadays

Yeah, my laptop has XP and SP2 on an 18 gig HDD.

i think what is suggested for the installation of sp2 is 3gb of free space because it has a bloated install. i dunno wat the hell it does during the install it makes a lot of temp files or something
