About 4 yrs ago I rebuilt one of my machines (reformat/reload all).
I rebuilt it w/W2K sp4. Since then, with all the WinUpdates, the hard
drive the OS is on is now reaching full capacity. The hard drive is a
4.5GB scsi Cheetah.
Yesterday I decided to remove the Office 2K3 that was installed. This got
me back ~1GB for free space (I was at 523MB free). And, now I can defrag
w/o the usual <12%Free warning.
Over the past year that O2K3 lived on this machine, I seem to have accepted
and installed some 23 'critical' updates to O2K3. I can not say that they
are still on the hard drive, but if they are:
Can I safely uninstall (add/remove prgms) the O2K3 patches w/o croaking the
OS on this drive?
Ultimately, I plan to replace this scsi install with a partitioned 80GB
pata drive.
Not sure whether to try and iso the current drive, or, just rebuild from
scratch again on the new hard drive.
Thought and suggestions welcome..... :)
Best,
Duncan
