To allow for other programs, updates, service packs, and free space for
defrag to work with, I'd allocate at least 8 GB to an XP system partition.
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:

That's kind of complicated way to do things when he can just right click
the My Documents folder on his desktop then click Properties & change it's
target location to anything he wants. I change it to C:\My Documents\ for
many of my clients so it's just like 98 was then you can run Tweakui.exe &
change many of the default locations for folders. I would change them to
sub folders of My Documents. I have my Start Menu & Favorites there as well
as this makes it nice & easy to do quick backups. I must confess that I
don't do it this way as I have a reg file to do most of my customizations
for me that I apply when setting up a new machine but have done it the way
that I've described when working at remote locations. FWIW & nothing
against Karen but I don't use any of her tools as I can copy folders
quickly enough from with TC [total commander].
