Windows XP >> XP Home Edition - Installed Program Size Hard drive space is an issue. I can free up the 1.5g
required to do the installation but will be cramped
thereafter.
Is the program going to use all of this space once
installed or will I regain the space that is occupied
currently by WIN98? and temp files created during the
setup?

Windows XP >> XP Home Edition - Installed Program Size 1.5GB of free space is required to install Windows XP.
Unless you invest in a larger hard drive, there will be to
room left to install updates or programs.

Windows XP >> XP Home Edition - Installed Program Size If you are that cramped for space, do a clean install. Get rid of everything
pertaining to Win98 by doing so. An upgrade leaves tons of useless crap on
the hard drive from the previous O/S. If hard drive space is not a problem,
go for an upgrade.

Windows XP >> XP Home Edition - Installed Program Size What sizw hard drive is it? Hard drives are getting
cheap now. I think you can get an 80 gig for about
$100? Check Buy.Com or Amazon.Com.
