Solve : Self-Expansion?!?

Answer»

Does anyone know why Windows sometimes automatically expand in disk size?  I installed it awhile ago and although I installed and saved everything else on my other hard drive, the one it is on keeps on saying its full (3GB, what do you expect).  

However, I don't know if I should reinstall Windows, because when I tried, it automatically chooses the one that already has Windows and tells me that obviously, there's no disk SPACE left!

So please, is there anyway I can get rid of duplicate files and the LIKE, or is there anyway I can reinstall Windows and STUFF to fix this low disk space problem?  

Thanks!

The main reasons Windows XP requires a lot of Hard Disk Drive space are:

  • Virtual memory
  • Service pack 2
  • Additional updates


Reserve at least 10GB for Windows XP to be on the safe side.Arrrgh... I'm trying to reinstall it on the other hard drive which is a lot bigger, but it won't LET me or something.  Do I have to get rid of this copy first and if I do, how so?  Downgrade and then upgrade it?   Quote

You can not move Windows XP to another Hard Disk Drive. Reformatting is one of the few options you have.
