So let me get this straight, you are missing about 1.6 gigs on your harddrive? Well, I am not sure about xp pro, but xp home takes about 1.5 gigs to load on the harddrive. That would be about right though, the operating system does use disk space. Am I even in the same ballpark as you are on your question? Sorry if I missed something.
whenever i reinstall a fresh copy of my OS, i usually delete the old one 1st. then i boot from a diskette then start my installation. in doing so, i'm always sure that i dont leave duplicate useless, space-wasting files...
