The current rootfs is 4GB plus you need 256MB for the swap file
If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?

that's the problem. You need an almost blank E drive to install GentooX...or at least I did. After the install you can change the size of rootfs and put your files back on...if they fit.
Right now I have Gentoox, XBMC, and EvoX installed and only have ~300mb free. I had to take off all my ripped CDs and homebrewed games.

Hi,

You dont need a blank E drive, you just dont need your music saves, movie saves, dvd copies, dashboards, xbox media center software ... :) You can move all those to F drive and then install gentoox on E drive.

I'm pretty sure they're talking about for the stock HDD, in which case they may not even have an F drive....
