Hello everybody, hoe someone could help me.
I installed Win XP SP2 on two PCs, one has a SATA drive partitioned as
C:10GB and D:60GB. The other one has an IDE HDD with the same partitioning.
I installed the system on C on both PCs.
In the one with the IDE drive almost 8GB are left as free space while in the
one with the SATA drive lestan 5GB are ledt (which are not enough for my
applicactions).
Can anybody tell me why may this happend? what am I doing wrong? how can I
solve this??

Regards
e,

10gb is not an awfull lot of space for win+apps, unless you are frugal with
apps

That's silly - just use the whole 70Gb to install everything. Trying to
stick XP in only 10Gb is not reasonable.

WinXP on a 10gb drive is entirely reasonable. One would just have to install
Apps on another drive.
