Hi Martin, hello everyone,
Yes.
I am running Win98 on a 3GB hard drive right now. I have used 1.22GB of space. This includes Office 2000, MS Works, AVG, JASC Paintshop Pro, and many others.
Best Regards, Mesich

Win98SE on a clean install takes 189mbs. That is installing the standard dial up connections, no screen savers, no games or extra accessories. Then I go into windows and delete all the extra background textures they give you. I also delete all those HP images in Windows. They are just extra, unessesary images. I ran Win98SE on my 486DX/64mbs ram/1G hard drive. I ran it that way for over a year till I was scandisking one night and it just died and I lost all my data. I didn't have a cdrw then to back stuff up.

Hi Martin, Play3r, hello everyone,
You'll be just fine with Win98 temporarily on the drive until you get the 160GB drive.
