Default How much space for WIndows ME Install

Hangs head in shame :-(
I'm one of those irresponsible ones, still have just the one partition.
Had a few problems with this machine at the beginning that involved
PartitionMagic so once everything was running OK never installed it again.
All the stuff in My Documents though is also on CD, keep meaning to have a
clean out when I have time :-(

For anyone reading this though I run XP not ME.

What Mike said!

Incidentally, note I added the 'once you know it is' get out.
Consider also, that these replies are meant for whoever reads them,
not just the OP, and often that means those with Restore discs which
usually only wipe C, although usually that does mean the entire
unpartitioned disk and relatively inexperienced users will restore
their OEM image, or whatever, without realising that their documents
will be deleted in the process. I think that once you appreciate the
reasons Mike and I give, it *is* irresponsible to leave data on C, at
least if it is important and particularly if you'll be advising new
users. Same as it's not irresponsible to get malware infestations as
a new user, but as an old hand that's exactly what it is!
There was another point I meant to make, but it escapes me now...
