XP x64 Pro too fat!

[Mike Armstrong]

My XP x64 Pro OS is installed on a 15gig partition within my 74gig Rapter HD. A clean install takes up 10gigs and by the time all the MS Updates are installed theres very little room for anyhting else. I would like my OS partition to be 20gigs but an option to exrend that partition during install does'nt exist (I think?). Also, I dont see how to extend that partition using Disk Management. Is there an easy way to extend that partition? Also, what size should the OS partition be? Thanks

My C:\: 9.3GB.
XP x64 with all updates on my box: 5.89GB.

Methinks you've got a bad install. (I'm upgrading to SP2 as we speak.)

GParted's LiveCD may be able to do this.
