My intentions I think are to have both Windows 98 and 2000 on seperate partitions but I don't know how big to make them so that they are big enough for the operating systems. Any ideas about how big they need to be?

I also have a 13gb Maxtor UDMA 66 7200 rpm that has Windows 2000 loaded on it with half the space left used as my current main drive. It is not partitioned at all.

A 13gb Western digital 5400 rpm with Windows 98 on it and all my games and 2 gb of music. It has 3 gb left available.

A 6gb Western Digital with Windows 98 on it. Almost full too. I loaded windows on it before I knew that I didn't have to in order to use it as file storage.

I think I have heard that some folks have a partition just for cab files or something for fast reformats. Where do I get the cab files? Are they in the Winnt folder?

What would you guys do if this mess was yours?

Thanks for the help guys

all the files you need are in the I386 folder
