ByGeorge Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I don't believe you should have any problems, but I would get some new RAM sticks, 512 would be better on XP. Shouldn't have to partition it, but I would anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
Rev-Roy Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 There is a problem with drives over 127gig and a patch to make them ok with WinXP. Link to post Share on other sites
ByGeorge Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 Easy, partition the drive into smaller bits Thanks Rev Link to post Share on other sites
x5dr Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 yep....doubt if you want to defrag one 160gb drive. Link to post Share on other sites
TorreyIsLDS Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 yep....doubt if you want to defrag one 160gb drive. my 120GB hard drive doesnt take more than 10 minutes to defrag if I dont defrag it for a week, and only about 1 minute if I defrag it daily. Link to post Share on other sites
JackeL Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 i have 2 80gb drives split into 4 partitions each. it takes less than a minute to defrag all 8 partitions....of course i do defrag daily (that helps)! Link to post Share on other sites
gordesky1 Posted November 27, 2003 Author Share Posted November 27, 2003 There is a problem with drives over 127gig and a patch to make them ok with WinXP. do you know were i can find the patch? Link to post Share on other sites
x5dr Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 (edited) yep...just takes me a couple of minutes to defrag 140 GBs ....but they are partitioned too...wouldn't want to do it on a single partition. Edited November 27, 2003 by x5dr Link to post Share on other sites
The Dude Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 You have Windows XP, you need Windows XP SP1 so go to windows update and download service pack 1. Link to post Share on other sites
gordesky1 Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 when i installed it says bad key or something like that Link to post Share on other sites
gordesky1 Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 away i could get the update instead of installing sp1? Link to post Share on other sites
Neo X1 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 when i installed it says bad key or something like that Sounds like you have that "special" version of windows. Just partition the hard drive. You don't need that 160gigs as one big drive do you? Link to post Share on other sites
gordesky1 Posted November 28, 2003 Author Share Posted November 28, 2003 if i partition the hard drive like 60gb for windows and 100gbs for games will that work? and when i put it in the computer will it reconize it? Link to post Share on other sites
wsrider Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 (edited) dont see why not. But windows only need 10gig (even less) so do 10windows , 60programs/movies/music, 60games, 30oldgames Edited November 28, 2003 by wsrider Link to post Share on other sites
