What OS would fit on a 1.27GB HDD?

.

Win98 requires "between 125 and 355MB of free hard drive space"

You could get Win 98SE on there although it doesn't leave much room for much else. My first pc had a 1.6gb hdd and i managed ok. You just have to be choosy what else you put on there that's all. Good luck. :D

Windows 98FE will. So will Windows95.

Great minds think alike wnderinguy and Photolady. LOL

Not W95, how about Linux? This HDD has no jumpers on it so I'm guessing it's a Master. Would that be correct? How about Windows ME, would that fit?

I have Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP Pro, & Lindows OS2.

Thanks,

Best post what brand and model. May need to find info on it, As some of them were set for Cable select also. Or had hidden /dang small jumpers where you missed them.

I'll post the model tomorrow and maybe with an image. The brand is a Samsung is all I know right now. The HDD's outside in a case at the moment.

Samsung works good for me and that does make for rough reading of the data :p

My museum-candidate laptop (IBM Thinkpad 380D, P150MMX, 80MB) has a 2GB factory harddrive, and it's happily running Win2000 SP2 with Office 2000, with plenty of room to spare. I'd go so far as to say it runs better now with Win2000 than it ever did.

Hi I would be more worried about Ram then anything else. My suggestion is a lean version of 2k best by far.

A bare bones install of Win2000 is about 650Mb, and I'm with NoBob and jenae. Anything's better than W98.

This 2gb machine I have now would be a problem with win2000 as it only has 32mb ram that's the only reason I have win98 on mine.

So I'm with jenae, check RAM also.

The required disk space for Windows ME is 295 MB with required Memory of 32 MB. Also, you need an Intel Pentium processor with a processor speed of 150 MHz.

Thanks everyone for yalls suggestions, I agree that anything would be better than W98!:D I just may go with 98 though, it may have me to respond more in the 98 forum here.:p

I am interested in Linux, what the best Linux based OS out there? SuperSpark, you refereed to one several months back that looked interesting, what was the name of it? I can't remember, just that you were using it.

Thanks again....
