Hi Douglas,
Oddly enough, I faced the insufficient space
problem on Friday with our engineer's system,
which only had around 150 megs free. I actually
got it up to around 1 gigabyte, and the
installation went O.K. after that. According to
Microsoft, you do need 1.8 gigabytes, not 1.6,
which sure seems one heck of a lot. However, I
imagine most of this will be for saving the
current system in its entirety just in case things
go wrong.
As regards Toshiba, I have a Satellite 2450, and
that installation went OK on Wednesday night. I
use it as my office system, and it has run since
with no apparent side effects.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] SP2 Queries
I do not intend rushing into SP2, but I have been
thinking carefully about it and two
things worry me somewhat.
I see from the Microsoft site that although the
download is around 80mb, installation requires at
least 1.6 gb of free disk space. I have a system
in which, unwisely as I now realise, I had the HD
partitioned with quite a small C partition and two
much larger ones for data storage. Having
installed more software to the C drive than I
originally expected, I see that the free space is
quite near that 1.6 gb limit. I wonder whether
anyone who has already done the SP2 installation
could tell me whether there is an option to use
space on the d or E drives instead of C for the
installation.
Secondly, I have XP Pro SP1 pre-installed on a
Toshiba lap top. I believe that this is in fact a
kind of OEM installation and I have vague
recollections of someone (Georg
perhaps?) having problems when using standard
Microsoft CDs for an installation. Has anyone
safely installed SP2 on a Toshiba lap top?
Thanks for any information,
douglas
