    [​IMG] hi.
    My computer suffers frommm space+less+ness, so i am wondering if it is acceptable to simply say bye-bye soa and hi tob?
    What i mean is do yah guys know if it'd be safe to uninstall soa and not screw up the entire tob?

    ToB is an ADD-ON to SoA. Hence you can't uninstall SoA.

    [​IMG] No. You need both SoA and ToB installed to play ToB.

    Yeah, I only had enough space to do a minimum install. 10 mbs less and I would have had no ToB! When I got BG1 it came with TotSC, and I couldn't install that until I got a new computer.
     
  5. Well, if you don't have enough space, why don't you just do a disk clean-up? Or defregment your entire disk. Much easier.

    Well, my computer has about eight different drives with about 1.6 gigs on each one. Altogether, I have about 13 gigs or so but since it's divided like that, I don't have enough space. The only thing on one of the drives is BG2. I don't know why my father made it like this, he just did.

    Lol. What school of magic is that in? Better not be Enchantment since I'm an Invoker :).

    [​IMG] Actually Partition Magic is a program for making disk partitions. The best one, in my experience. You could merge you two current partitions with it and you'd have enough space that way. Of course, you'd have to reinstall everything that way...

    You can find a free/trial copy of Partition Magic around. The beat place to look is ZDnet. Try this: http://hotfiles.zdnet.com/cgi-bin/texis/swlib/hotfiles/search.html
    In the Search field put "Partition Magic"
    Before you do anything, what OS do you have? And, What FAT are you running? To find out go:
    My Computer-Rt Click C Drive-Properties.
    It will say what your FAT is. Either 16 or 32. 16 supports up to 2.0 gigs per Partition. 32 supports somewhere in the terabytes. If you want to learmn more, surf around Computing.net
