How much disc space do I need for XP pro and office 2003?

Roughly, how much disc space would I need on a hard drive to install windows xp pro and office 2003? I want to use a small hard drive (10gig) to store my operating system and main program files and use my largeer drive for media storage. Thanks.

This depends greatly on what you plan to do with the computer. The XP Pro install will take up about 3 GB, but XP Pro by default will try to create a 3GB page file, so if you only have a 6GB HD windows will complain right away that you have low disk space. Of course you can reduce the size of the swap file to correct this. Office takes up about 500MB if you do the complete install. So basically you want to have at least 8GB or so if you just plan to use office. If you plan on doing anything else go bigger. It's hard to find new hard drives smaller than 40GB any more and you can get them for around $45 so if you need more space I recommend that.
It's is also important that with XP you have at least 256MB RAM for decent performance. 512 is recommended.

Roughly 2 GB.
