Windows XP on a 4GB Server Drive

[AIRIFLE]

Would you people think that a 4GB Hard drive that is going to be used as a server is good enough? I also need to upload a operating system on it.

It is designed for a Windows 95 old rubbish but do you think that Windows XP Home Edition could work?

What kind of server are you trying to setup?

Internet

I'm trying to set up a internet server for my website so that my users can sign up. E.g like this forum site where you have users

Provided you can install the server onto 4GB (btw when you say "server drive", that means something completely different) then you should be fine (unless you anticipate getting tens of thousands of visits a day or soemthing)

How long?

How long would it take to load on the windows XP Home Edition on it. Currently there is no op system on the drive.

1Hour?
2Hours?
3Hours?
4Hours?

Depends on (a) the specs of the system and (b) how familiar you are with the process. Purely based on specs, my sysetm can crunch through a reinstall in about 30-40 minutes
