I had to tell them we couldn't update it for them cos the solid state hard drive was 16G and the update was 15G.
I didn't think XP would even install on a drive that size (given that it's an SSD, I assume that 15G is the size of the entire drive, not a partition)...I had always heard that allowing 30GB just for XP install+swapfile+"you'd damn well better leave 20-30% free space" was the minimum...

Well that's what WinFLP is for. I once got a working install on a 2 gig Compact Flash card, just to see if I could.
