Eli Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Hi In my system (please see in my signature for details) the system restore disk space is 12% for each disk drive. For C 9800 MB, for D 8764 MB. What would be the best minimum effective disk space I would need , if I`m not a heavy user? Thanks ELI OS : MS windows XP pro sp3 Processor : AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual core 3800, 2009Mhz.Mother board : Gygabyte M61 PM-S2 Ram : 3GBDisk space : 649.05 GB Default browser: FirefoxProtection : Sandboxie, MBam free version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find 2 GB or 2000 MB quite sufficient. I have increased it when doing a major update like from SP2 to SP3. davey P.S. This is assuming that you are still using WinXP like I am. Vista users are better off with the default. The better chance of recovering large data files which we can't do.

Eli I am still single C drive with external USB on F. I turned F system restore off. You can start there and monitor them. Other users may have some more info but I wouldn't go lower than that for now. davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
