Have an old Compaq laptop with a P120 CPU and 84MB ram, 1.2GB HD.
Anyone any idea if WIN 2000 will fit on this?
It had NT4 but my son wants to demo a project he did in ASP.NET and that requires win2K or WinXP pro. Don't think winxp pro will fit.

It might, but it would be a really tight fit and you'd have virtually no room for any applications.
Win2k's /win dir (alone) will eat about 700MB after drivers, service packs/updates, dx, ie, etc... are installed. You could trim that down some after the install, but you're still going to be limited to 500-600MB for everything else (including your swapfile.)
Just an update.- My son seems to have managed to fit win2K and everything else he needed. I t does run a bit slow tho- suprise suprise.
