Install disk space

J

John Campbell

MS Office Install will not permit me to proceed from the install command. It
says it needs space on both my C: partition and my D: partition. I elected to
install to my D: partition because there is enough space (>9 GB). My thinking
was that the C: partition would only be used for Windows and the virus
checker/security (Symantec). Problem is, MS Office apparently needs >350MB on
the C: partition anyway! I suspect this is for temporary or configuration
files, rather than permanent use, but the install routine will not permit me
to proceed.

Any suggestions? I have thougth about trying to install piecemeal, but
realized there may be better ideas available here. In addition, that is based
on the assumption that I am right about the need for C: space not being
permanent. If it is permanent, I need to find some way to avoid reconfiguring
the entire system by increasing the size of the C: partition...

Thanks in advance for any help.

One quick way to increase the space on C: is to move the swap file to D:.
Another is to delete all the Temporary Internet Files (from within the
browser). the latter will fill up again, but you'd be surprised at how much
space it uses. Another thing I usual do is move "My Documents" off of the C:
drive.
