    If you need some more hard drive on windows xp Follow this little tut :)

    Turn off Hibernation

    If you don't use the Hibernation feature of XP, it's taking up a lot of unnecessary hard drive space. The space it takes up depends on your RAM. If you have 128 MB RAM, Hibernation takes up 127 MB, if you have 256 MB RAM, Hibernation takes up 254 MB, and so on. "Standby" and "Hibernation" are not they same thing. You will keep the "Standby" feature when you disable Hibernation. To turn off Hibernation:

    1. Right-click on the desktop and click "Properties"
    2. Hit the "Screen Saver" tab
    3. Then click the "Power" button under "Monitor Power"
    4. Click the "Hibernation" tab, then uncheck the box next to "Enable Hibernation"
    5. Press "OK" and you have just saved a load of hard drive space!

    It saved me 1,024mbs :rofl:

    +Rep if it helped you ^_^
