Hello,
One of our machines was a 98SE box that was upgraded to XP with an 'XP Home
SP2 Upgrade' CD a few years back. Worked great and still does, except that
it uses about 15G of hard drive (has since the upgrade) even after
uninstalling un-needed software. This is on a smallish drive with three
partitions that now hit a remote network storage. I am planning on resizing
some partitions to give that system some breathing room so to speak. I was
taught way back that an OS should never take up more than 50% of it's
partition and I'd like to restore that ratio.
Q: I seem to recall that there are files that are saved during an upgrade
installation just in case you didn't like the results. What are they and can
they be deleted now? Will they provide much free space?
Thanks.
