Previous post screwed up!
IMHO you do not need to do anything as drastic as re-partitioning the disk.
We run our DC (hosting file server and App Server for database serving
entire design, manufacture, and sales functions) with 7.84 Gbyte of C: drive,
currently 1.54Gbyte is free.
I freed up space on the C: drive by following steps:
1) 1.5Gbyte - Move most of C:\pagefile.sys to D:
Create a new file D:\pagefile.sys, min = 1536Mbyte, max = 1536Mbyte
Modify file C:\pagefile.sys, min = 128Mbyte, max = 128Mbyte
Use regedit.exe to set
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Mnager\Memory Management
ClearPageFileAtShutdown DWORD 0 => 1
Takes effect when you re-boot.
2) 1Gbyte - Move all folders C:\windows\$nt*uninst* to D:\exc_windows\
You can't uninstall MS updates to your operating system without moving them
back, but in 2 years in this job I have never wanted to!
3) 0.65Gbyte - move app software
If you have install CD or download, uninstall from C:\Program Files\ and
re-install in D:\moved_programs\
These changes have been in place for at least 12 months with no problems.
I shied away from performing my first-ever repartition on our
mission-critical PDC emulator when I had only been in post 6 months.
Call me chicken, I don't care!
