On the box, Windows recommends that you have a hard drive with at least 6MB of free space, but it's keeping the fingers crossed behind its back. Windows can easily eat up 15MB of space. Windows programs can eat up even more space.Nobody will laugh if u use a 200MB hard disk and reserve at least half of that for Windows programs.
Also,Windows require a 5 1/4-inch,high-capacity floppy disk drive or a 3 1/2-inch disk drive.
Finally,be aware that the terms capacity and density are often used interchangeably,The important part is the 1st part--high or low.
Be forewarned,however that Windows comes with high-density disks. Its your 3 1/2-inch disk drive isn't high-capacity,you won't be able to use windows disks straight out of the box .Instead,you'll have to mail a coupon to Microsoft asking for the low density, 720K disks that are designed for the antiquated drives.Getting the disks can take from two weeks ta a month, which can be stifle the excitement of bringing home a new piece of software.
