SP2 takes space on C ?

[Anton]

I have downloaded SP2 and saved it in part. K where my OS Xp are. Part C.
have limited space. If I open SP2 in K, will it take space in C?

Anton, it won't install if you don't have enough space. If your system
partition is K then that's all SP2 is interested in. So, I think
no space will be used in C:

After downloading, there was a copy in C I erased

Downloading SP2 will just save the "install" file. Once the download
completes, you still must click on the SP2 file to "install" it. Just
by downloading and saving the SP2 file does not mean you have
installed it.

And saving the SP2 file to C: will use space on the drive. You can
always burn this to CD / DVD or move it to someplace else.

If you have XP installed on your K: drive


than that's exactly where sp2 will be applied


it will not put files into another partition

I forgot there is a W2000 in C as first installtaion, guess it will not
differ?

Its down in K and will open there as I wrote. Also got an SP3 on a
USB-stick, but I saw a warning for SP3 so I start with 2 as have no
warning

Correct.

installing sp2 for XP will not write files to your other drive

Not another disk, another partition.

 

[Anton]

yes,,,maybe I should have said partition

Yes but I guess it works all the same in one PC
