Install XP on a 300Gb drive when I only have a pre-sp1 install cd...


Is this even possible w/o a partition "enlarger"?

You need to create a "slipstreamed" installation CD.

Sure you can, but it will only create a partition of 127gb approx, leaving
you with free space that you can partition later
 
Dear Poprivet..

sorry 'bout that... meant that i'd like to have the entire 300 gb w/o
having to install to a smaller partion and then enlarge the partion later...
 
Nepatsfan, thank you very much!!
