Hmm, I tried it and it wants 1728MB to install. this is not right, it does not use 
that much space.  I don't know much about Windows though. I use W2K & NT4 for 
legacy support.

My Windows 2K drive is short of space, like your drive. I  installed it on my 
Linux host, it only uses 685MB of space.  This method works for Oo 3.2.1, which 
was 486 MB installed.

I use Samba and bridged networking for my host/guest setup.

The window with the drives you mentioned is an information only window,  you 
change the path to install , elsewhere.
