My sole hard-drive is an Seagate EIDE 7200rpm 80GB
My HD draws up to around 37gigabytes.Which isn't very much when 7 gigabytes is taken up by Windows 98 files. So it runs out of space rather quickly and I have to continually do clear outs just to free up some space for myself.
I see the majority of you have much bigger hard drives than me.
I've only got one and it's only 10 GB
 I need a new computer. The one I have is like five or six years old and only 300 mhz, but is still pretty good. I hope to get myself a new one soon with a bigger HD. Or I'll just get an iPod to use as an external HD. I want one of the 20 GB iPods.

The reason I ask is because a correctly installed W98 OS will take between 650MB to 1.2GB depending on how many of the "support" files you leave behind after install. If you count installed programs as part of your W98 files then I can see where you are comming from. Remember most third party programs add to your Windows folder and the bigges culprit are "Temporary internet files" I have a total of Size 55.90 GB (60,019,868,160 bytes) between the 2 HD's on this computer.

Currently: My laptop has a 60 GB HD
Looking for a external enclosure that I can put 160GB's HD (That I bought from thanksgiving sales. Next computer: 2x74 GB HD's @ 10,000 RPM 2x300 GB HD's @ 7,200 RPM QUOTE(-=Wrighty=- @ Dec 23 2004, 02:18 AM) My HD draws up to around 37gigabytes.Which isn't very much when 7 gigabytes is taken up by Windows 98 files.

That's a pretty strange figure? Is it an SCSI hard drive?
its probably a 40 gig drive, with the difference being the space lost to the difference in how HD manufacturers and computers count space.
My hard drive is Maxtor 40gb. The 40 gigs is usually enough space until I start downloading a lot of stuff.
