DO, as a rule, KEEP YOUR PROGRAM FILES on the SAME disk as YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM FILES !

(excuse the CAPS, but this is worth shouting about, huh ?)

Put your 'data' files (i.e. music and video and text and DownLoads) on another disk, if you like...

Hard Disk Drives are really cheap now... Install a 160GB or so and shift all of your 'personal' saved and shared stuff to that new disk...
FREE as much space as possible on the main C:\ drive where your OS and Program Files are located...
You need to have NEVER LESS than 20% free space remaining on your 'Main Hard Disk Drive' in order to be able to adequately perform the basic functions of the Windows OS and... AND, especially, to be able to perform a correct de-fragmentation of your 'main drive'...

Some may return and argue these points I have made here...

TS... They are talking nonsense...

Remember--- De-Fragment OFTEN...
Never fill your HDD beyond 80%
Use an application such as WindowWasher to help you to REALLY remove all that garbage that Windows collects !!!

I'd go even further. Use Windows only for defragmenting and install a real operating system for everything else.

An xtra internal or an external HDD is quite valuable in more ways than one. Both for backup & for sharing. HDD's tend to wear more from writing to than from reading from or the continual revolutions they make. Xtra HDD's are a good way to go & you can get them for a decent price if you shop around!

See http://www.theosfiles.com/ for a list of available x86
operating systems. There are a few more - for example at least two BeOS descendents - but I don't know of any better site at the moment.

Windows is not a real OS, the "ows" in it stands for "Operating Wannabe System". So this is not my mere opinion, it's a fact.

One part of your question can be answered here: To continue files downlding (click on link) & see all the off-shoot links which will give you hints & some xtra skills. Success with finding what you want is a combination of perserverence, skill, trying out different techniques, trying the improbable at times (lol) such as mispellings of the title, etc. Browsing hosts & browsing multiple results of their browsed results, etc. Trying different types of searches & varying the search name. Even searching it at Bitzi & seeing what alternative names it's listed under if it's listed on their database.
