My XP Pro partition is 40GB, but it is only used for a few games that don't run well on later versions of Windows, testing some of my own custom software, and no data is stored on this partition. Even the installs of downloaded games are stored on different hard disks. Because of these factors, only 12GB of the partition is currently used.
Alan Wade 50Gb these days is very little hard drive space. If you dont plan on installing loads of games and programs that should be plenty. If you plan on having loads of games and programs take it up to Gb Chadi El Haj You have to keep in mind that your page file and. Tharindu Ariyaratne OK..
I installed XP on the 20Gb one and worked without any headaches. And you can install most of commonly used software but No big Games.. No high-end applications such as Photoshop, Maya, and I'm not recommend to install other programs in another partition as well, let all programs to be only in the C drive.
If you install software in another separate partition even though the programme will save some system files and some parts on C drive. Hence 20Gb will enough for XP. Other partitions can be used for installing some programs, though few will not give the option to install on another partition or drive. If you do not wish to use another partition to install programs, then 40GB minimum should be fine unless many programs would be installed and files stored for Windows XP to be able to read from.
Otherwise, Chris has a good recommendation. Chris Marcoe I did some searching and it seems like people are saying G is about right for Win XP and the programs that will go with it.
Also, it says 40 is about minimum. If you're a keen mobile gamer, you'll want a smartphone that can keep up.

XP will install with all the extras removed in as little at 1. I used to use DOS a lot ten years ago and the BYTES representation is actually better than showing rounded up to its ' as I can see files of similar size are identical and all sorts of other things, by looking at the exact file size.
I also think that by rounding up to ', Windows has to sort of "calculate" and process all the files in order to determine if it should display KB, MB or GB. So, I want a little faster as I always got over ten thousand files in a folder and it takes tens of seconds to display them all.
Yes, the info will be cached, but such cache will be gone after each reboot. I searched through the registry but there is nowhere I know that it can do that. Anyone can help?
I seriously doubt you will notice any difference in speed for WE to diplay your files just by eliminating the "rounding" of file sizes. However, I have searched the Tweak sites anyway, but came up empty. I can't find a way to get XP WE to display file sizes in bytes by default. If you do find the tweak, please post it here. I cannot see any benefit or reason to do this, but am interested to know if and how it can be done.
Good luck. Johanna ,. Log in or Sign up to hide this advert. I thought this sounded like something an enterprising software writer might be willing to tackle. So, I just sent an email to Mike Lin, who's written many small, helpful apps for the PC, asking if he knew of, or thought it might be possible to write, a tweak that would force WE to display file sizes in bytes, rather than rounding them.
I'll post back when or if I receive an answer. JSS3rd ,. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. I know that the dir command outputs this information, but it outputs other information also.
I could easily write such a program, but I would prefer to use a native Windows command if possible, or only what is available in a fresh install of Windows XP.
Also see this article for more information. It is especially useful with a for loop:. Try forfiles :. The forfiles command runs command c for each file m in directory p. Taken from here :. Use the diskuse command to find files over a certain size. The following command displays files over MB in size on the D: drive:.
This is not exactly what you were asking about and it can only be used from the command line and may be useless in a batch file , but one quick way to check file size is just to use dir :. The below code works for files in any location, and I wrote it myself. I'm sure there are more efficient ways of doing this using VBScript , or PowerShell or whatever, but I didn't want to do any of that; good ol' batch for me!
More generalized version of this. The previous version may be not requiring enableDelayedExpansion enableExtensions , but can't run in for loops.
