122059 2003-02-17 21:32:00 Have read in news groups of Windows XP denying access to slave HDD after reinstalling. I wish to reinstall to reduce the size of the Windows folder to merely large rather than gargantuan and would appreciate feedback on pitfalls to watch for, and remedies if into the pit I fall (apart from backing-up which we all do. Of course. Thank you Xantia (3193)
122060 2003-02-18 04:12:00 Can you not trim down Windows by going into Add/Remove Windows Components (or whatever the feature is actually named) and remove things from there?

I could be wrong but I find it difficult to know how a reinstall without a reformat will reduce the size of Windows. Unless a reformat is what you are actually talking about?
