I think it's a little tight. I would feel more comfortable with
2.5 GBytes free for Win2000, and 5 GBytes for WinXP.

Depends what/how many Apps you are going to install, as some will install
various things to C even if you custom install to another drive.
My used space on C is 5gb and all apps are installed elsewhere

If you only have 1.4 GB, that is pretty low, You should try to delete some stuff. Also go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall any programs you don't use or hardly use. If you download alot of songs and Videos, try to delete some to free of some space. Also, if you don't have any anti-virus programs installed. I reconmend that you download CleanUp, Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware SE Personal. That will help clear up some space on your computer and may run your computer faster. Too much used space isn't good for your computer.

what happens if my disk become full without free space ?
windows goes crash ?

Just want to say that you have a really informative and amazing site.
Really helped me further, much thanks :-)

Peace people

We love you
