Acceptable "Available Disk Space" requirements

[FTAdams]

I have a Dell 8200, P4 2.8Ghz, 1GB RAM with 120GB hard
Drive. I have partitioned the HD into (3) partitions. I
have the following available unused space on the drives:

C: (Windows XP Pro-OS and programs) unused space= 10.1 GB
G: Programs unused space= 14.7GB
H: Data only unused space= 13.9GB

Question:
At what point of available/unused space limits will I
begin to see performance degragation or problems. Please
indicate your suggestions at the drive/partition level.

Thanks,
Frank

When you have less than 15% available free space on the
Windows XP partition (C, you'll experience a degradation
of performance. With the other partitions, performance issues
really don't matter unless you use all the free space.
