You're probably right that 12GB is a little large.
I really don't use Win2K much, primarily for updating my Palm-based
Treo. I used to use it for Delorme Mapping software, but a combination
of the on-line maps that have gotten so much better and a navigation
system in my car, I've not done that much.
Possibly one thing that makes a difference is that I restrict Windoze
to ONLY its own C-Drive. So, that one partition has to include all
data that Windoze will access. I do no allow access to any of my other
eCS drives. If I have to move data between systems, I use a USB flash
drive and wipe it clean after each use. [Paranoid? Probably. But, I
refuse to take any chances.]
