There will be more than just C:\Windows on that drive. Just let XP setup
things the way it wants. Use the other partition for data files. The one
thing XP puts on C: that you mway want to move, the "documents and settings"
folder, can be handled as follows:

I'm just curious as to what you all have done.
I'm going to format and reinstall Windows XP Pro on a Dell 8400 that has
a hidden partition for drivers, I guess.
I'd like to set up a partition for just the system files. (That would be
C:\Windows, right? Is there anything else that has to be in that
partition? How big do you think it should be?
Thanks, Carl. I'd really like "Program Files" in a different partition, too. Is
that doable?

Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person's
life, freedom of religion affects every individual. State churches that use government
power to support themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths undermine
all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of the church tends to make the clergy
unresponsive to the people and leads to corruption within religion. Erecting the
"wall of separation between church and state," therefore, is absolutely
essential in a free society.
