1. Open XP's "Help and Support" program.
2. In the Search box type in: QUOTA , and hit enter.
3. Click on the task titled: "Assign default quota values".

Note: If the volume is not formatted with the NTFS file system, or if
you are not a member of the Administrators group, the Quota tab is not
displayed in the volume's Properties dialog box.

You must be running NTFS as your file system, if I remember correctly, to enforce quotas. If so, simply right click on the hard disk in question, in Windows Explorer, and go to the Quota tab. Enable quotas and set the limits you desire. If you click the View Quotas button, you'll get a dialog where you can add users/groups and set the quotas on a more inidividual basis.
