FAT64 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Well, I hate to tell you this, but my Windows folder is also over 2Gb!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolly Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 Well, im not about to install and see.I was thinking whats the size right after the install?And I think I've forgotten the effect of the Pagefile.That can easily add 1 or 2 GB might depend on the HD size and how XP allocates the size, I think it was percentage...But thanks for answer.

prathapml Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 By itself the *ENTIRE* Windows XPSP2 install (including program files folder) does not cross 1.2 GB.But you should ensure that you have atleast 3 or 4 GB of free-space on the partition where you will install XP, to give breathing space for system restore, DLLcache, hibernate, swap-file. But you can delete these things after install is completed - to cut-down on disk-usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
