Win2k Partitioning

Ricochet · Aug 2, 2002, 12:21 AM

Just a quick one guys..

When installing win2k onto a fresh partition.. whats the smallest possible size that partition can be so the setup doesn't have a whinge and say the partition's too small to install the os? ...

will 680/700mb scrape through? is there a parameter when running setup so it doesn't detect the size of the partition it's installing to?

Cheers,

Ric

I'd be tempted to give it a 2-3 gig parition. Thats purely because a fair number of apps/games refuse to work of anything other than drive C:

I have thar experience with WinXP, I have a partition of 1GB, and it just isn`t useful to install anything, always saying that there is no memory
