Re: Windows Shared Computer ToolKit XP Details & Help
As I said in my original post, the documentation is not well laid out, but they do qualify it better here:

To calculate required size of unallocated disk space
If you need to determine the required size of the unallocated space, you can use one of the following procedures:
• Windows partition uses the entire disk. Divide the disk size in GB by 10. If the result is more than 1 GB, that is the required size of the unallocated space.
• Windows partition uses part of disk. Divide the size of the Windows partition by 10. If the result is more than 1 GB, that is the required size of the unallocated space.
If the tool you use to resize partitions reports space in MB, multiply the calculated figures by 1024 to convert gigabytes to megabytes.
Note:
Some tasks, such as creating or copying CDs, use significant amounts of disk space on a temporary basis. If your computer will be used for these tasks, ensure enough unallocated disk space exists before the protection partition is created to contain the full contents of two CDs or DVDs.

| So I need to make my primary partition smaller to use this or are you talking about free space on the drive? If thats the case then I dont want to use this. But I doubt MS would require you to mess with partitions if this program is meant to make things simpler

The even give links to free utilities that will alter partitions and reclaim free space back to un-allocated space.
