1.4 GB free on C drive - is this enough?

I've got Windows 2000 installed onto my C drive, which is 5 gigabytes and has
1.4 gigabytes of free space left. This seems kinda low to me... would you be
concerned? I know the free space will decrease as I apply Windows updates and
install programs (to my D drive, but sometimes stuff gets put on my C drive
anyway). So the question is will 1.4 gigabytes be enough for all that? I
have an opportunity to re-partition my drives right now, so I can increase the
size of the C drive, but of course I wouldn't want increase the space if it
will end up being wasted.

I think it's a little tight. I would feel more comfortable with
2.5 GBytes free for Win2000, and 5 GBytes for WinXP.
 
Depends what/how many Apps you are going to install, as some will install
various things to C even if you custom install to another drive.
My used space on C is 5gb and all apps are installed elsewhere

In danish there is a saying which roughly translated means that rubbish grows to
fill available space.
I start off with 7.81 GB of space for C: and now have has 1.25 free for 24
months or so.

All installed programs go to drive D: and rubbish programs such as Canon Stitch
which do not work unless they are installed on C: gets the boot. Plenty programs
allow for installing anywhere on your computer.

Keep it small and store backups on Acronis. Takes less than 2 minutes for backup
and 2 minutes to verify.
