Rep Power: 2  |  Installing windows vista... hi folks, after my system crash (for reason see here  http://www.indiabroadband.net/deskto...requently.html (Desktop restarts frequently!) ) i installed windows vista, total size of my harddisk is 80GB; distributed between 3 partitions (out of which C drive is of 24.4GB) now my problem is after installing into C only 9 GB of free space is available, i googled and saw that vista takes a lot of space. ( is 9GB sufficient for installing other nitty gritties like word processing softwares as well as Antivirus.. .... all those things for normal working..)Wat would u all suggest.. for better utilization of disk space.  |

| 9 GB should be sufficient. Install program files in another drive so that it doesn't get installed in C drive. Quote:

Rep Power: 6 | I also install software and operating system in different drives. All of them work fine, except Google products and very few software which doesn't have the option to change/choose installation directory. Even if you successfully fit all the software and operating system files in a single drive with little space, the system might become slow and start to cause problems. BTW, You can use vLite to tweak and remove unnecessary services/components to make the operating system smaller. |
