installation - Bare-minimum hard drive space to install Windows XP SP3 Professional?


Just enough for my drivers and my windows XP setup will be more than enough ... I will work from another partition and the system partition will be frozen ...


2Gb seem right but was using 5-10 Gb before, how much do I really need?


I'm now checking with VirtualBox If it's enough, I have access legaly to my school license ...


It used 1.11Gb on 2Gb with a windows xp professionnal cd (oem, retail, msdn, ...)


I know about Nlite but if you're not careful you will lose some stuffs that you need, but I was mostly asking for the default install size to use as a rule of thumb ...



Answer




  • 2 Go seem more than enough for a poweruser *


Note : everything is in another partition so my documents and another Program files is maded in that second partition, that include also various downloads folders and a backup folder ...
