Re: OT: Hard Drive Space

As John said, you need  some space for the swapfile (Pagefile.sys in XP). 
However. MS say that it is normally set to 1.5 times the amount of RAM that 
you have,and this seems to work well for me.
I'd only begin to worry when I had less than 10%, or 100MB, left nowadays.

Last night someone mentioned that you "shouldn't" use more than 50%
of the space available on a hard drive.  I've never heard such a
thing, and was unable to get an explanation as to why.  Anyone care
to comment?

If you're using Windoz you need a certain amount for the swap/paging file 
(or
whatever you like to call it) but it's better to put your swap file on a
different drive if poss. Depends on you configuration of course.
