| 8757 | 2001-02-15 01:26:00 | Hi again, my friend told me that by installing win98 on a large HDD eg 20GB it will just some how fill it self up with rubbish?? Is this true?? I have a 40 GB, how would u recommend me to partition it?? Thx | Guest (0) | ||

This will contain C: The second partition should have a dedicated D: for the Windows swap file - about 3x system RAM. That makes about 200meg if you have 64meg. You will have to use Control Panel, System... to make it use D: for the swapfile. Make the min & max size both the same - e.g. 200meg. E: should be used to install programs to. F: should be used to save your data files to. |
