[ziggyjuarez]

[Snee]

I just went from having 460 to 160, 'cos one drive died :dabs:

Still waiting for a replacement.

why so much HD space guys? You don't store EVERYTHING on your HD do you? What if you had to reinstall? With that said, 200-300GB right now for downloads is plenty.

[GepperRankins]

i was gonna get 120 more this week but spent my money on a psp *dabs

meh most of us back up some important stuff on dvdr's , on other computer harddriives. I don't like fetching through piles of dvdr's to watch on specific thing... or is it just me?

[ziggyjuarez]

261 Gb :)

[vmNET4]

A modest 200go. I'm running short often but I have my little black liteon friend who takes care of my vital hdd space ;)

exactly, my comp has one 250gig, but it thinks it has four- 10gig for windows, two tens for games,and one 220gig file storage.

Have about 300 gig on dvds though, plus i just got 100 more dvds- 450 gigs for $40. need to get some more harddrives though

[peat moss]

I guess I'm one of the few who thinks 60 gb is fine , only using 7 gb at the moment but I burn alot of software and pics to disk . Make that a 11 gb, I installed Half Life 2 last week . :)

[Formula1]

aww man, i should have partitioned my 160GB . Gosh darn :(
What if i buy a 320GB and make a 30GB partition for windows, and then reinstall windows on that. Can i delete my old windows install, without loosing any files that aren't stored in my documents/windows created folders?

[twisterX]

160 GB 2 partitions. one 15 GB windows and one 134 GB everything thats not windows. installations games dvd's

[Skiz]

Only 80 here, but I think I'm gonna go get a 200gb tomorrow. This one has been full for ages. :frusty:

Just install and run partition magic it will let you partition the hard drive without losing any data.

so you're saying that right now on my 160GB hdd. I can partition the sector on my hard drive that has windows using norton partition magic, without losing any data?

Actually, it's not norton software, it is just called partition magic 8. it is actually made by power Quest

what it will allow you to do is create a second partition out of already partitioned (but empty) space. this way, when you reload, you can reload to the partition. not sure how you would go about getting rid of the old installation.

[Mad Cat]

This computer 830GB.
Networked 1438GB.

[nightwalker]

140 gigs but almost running out of space cause of dvd-r downloading...probably should burn some now to free up some of the space
