experience with was v3.1, and a lot has changed since then, apparently. I put
the OS and about a dozen video card & motherboard apps. in a 2 GB partition of a
700GB drive; the rest of the drive is unpartitioned. Data is on a separate hard
drive.
Now the 2 GB Win-XP partition is bursting at the seams and I want to expand it. But no!! Can't expand the OS partition, says Win-XP. So am I well and truly
screwed? Or is there a way to increase that 2 GB partition *WITHOUT*
re-installing Win-XP and all those apps? (^%$#! Micro$oft ... mutter-mutter!)

If you survived till now with Win 3.1, how come you went XP?
For me Windows95 was the straw that broke camels back when it told me "Sit there, you idiot, we know what is best for you!". After years with DOS and 'primitivski' Win 3.11, which needed learning to make it perform. I was not ready to submit my computer to secretive 'wizards'.
Few weeks later Linux presented itself on my screen and still is the resident OS. It needs the 'Linux steep learning slope' which for someone coming from DOS+Win 3.1 is very well excersized.
So do what you want but there are choices around and you will end in bed that you prepared for yourself.
Have fun
