No disk space for reader rabbit on 80Gb using w2k

I got a fealing this program will not install on Win2000. Is your Win2000 NTFS or FAT32. If it is NTFS this maybe why it won't insatll because it is looking for a FAT16 or a FAT32 file system so it is misreading the disk information.

The following are the minimum system requirements needed to properly install Reader Rabbit's(r) Toddler(r) v 3.0. If your system does not meet these requirements, you may not be able to install or run the program.
Solution Windows(r) * Windows(r) 95/98 * 486/66 MHz processor (or better) * 16 MB of RAM * 15 MB free hard drive space*


The Crazy One

The following is the requirements for the Deluxe version. Note how it says "Windows(r) 95/98 or HIGHER" but in your version 3.0 only says "Windows(r) 95/98" and makes no mention of any Windows version higher then 95/98. This indicates to me that the 3.0 version was not made to run on any version of Windows higher then Win98. It may run on ME but ME is just a glossed over version of Win98. Win2000 however is based on the NT architecture, which is quite different, then the Win9x architecture.

You may have a point there leew. However I have several programs that will install on Win98 using a large HD although its not a 80 gigger but with the same drive it won't install in Win2000. :>)

Good comments. I will add an old 7Gb drive, format a partition as Fat16, since the 80 gigger is ntfs, then a partition as ntfs and see if it solves the drive size or partition format as a possible solution

leew: What happens if you hit Alt+SPACE followed by M to put the window in Move mode, then hit the cursor keys? You might be able to move it onscreen that way.
