C: is where you currently have Vista. The OS. Operating System= Vista. Install XP on that one.

1600 for kick-ass gaming rig or a 2600 better kickass laptop -.- now stop posting crap unless your going to help.

No not a better laptop, give me the specs of that laptop and I could easily beat it for under 1600 in a conventional pc.

Just remove all partititions. OS , recovery and mediadirect.
Then install XP and configure the system like YOU want it.
Perhaps leave a few GB and install linux on it later as dualboot with grub

Lol i didnt think it was that hard... Unless you wanted recovery?

Anyway... You should have just selected C:/ drive... Jeez making a big deal about all of this.

its my suggest for ur OS's drive:

Windows XP : 10 GB (if ur not have much games to be installed inside)

Windows Vista : 20 GB (i have tried it by myself and i dont found any risk of it)

oh yeah,, if u want install single player game,, install on different partition (not in OS's drive)

notice!
every drive must free at least 30% of size
except OS's drive must free above 50% if u wont ur computer run slow
