Minimum Space Required for Windows 3.1 Setup (82594)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q82594 SUMMARY
The minimum space required to set up the Microsoft Windows operating
system version 3.1 can be confusing under certain conditions. Setup
will require 6,144,000 bytes of free disk space for the minimum
install. It is possible for the user to have this much disk space free
and still be presented with an error message, which states that there
is not enough disk space, when running Setup.
Different hard disks have different cluster sizes, making it
impossible to make an exact determination as to the size that a
directory takes up on the disk. Thus it is possible to have 6,144,000
bytes free before starting Setup and, after the directories are
created, end up with not enough free disk space left to complete the
setup. If this is the case, the user should attempt to free up space
on the hard disk.
