Replacing hard drive in desktop and installing Windows XP. Where can I find information on how much room is required or advisable on hard drive space and how many partitions are needed to install XP, programs and files on the same drive. Thanks

How many partitions?

Different people have different idea about that. To start with, how big of a harddrive is being installed?
