My main desktop (Beauty in sig) has 3 OS partitions, 2 for Windows 2000 and one for Win98SE. I normally boot to one of the Windows 2000 partitions, which are 6 GB. I thought the size more than adequate when I partitioned the drive but now I wonder. Windows reports only 1.2 and 1.1 GB free space on those partitions. I almost always elect to install applications, programs and utilities on a different HD, but a lot of stuff doesn't seem to give me an option to do so and snuggles itself onto the OS partition. There's a ton of such stuff, and I could delete some of it. Anyway, I plan to reinstall Windows 2000 on those partitions soon but could repartition the OS HD (using Partition Magic), to allow more room for the Windows 2000 partitions. How much room is adequate?
