40 GIG Partition down to 1 GB left

    Hi all,

    i have and use my pc entirely for a MEdia Center.

    I created a 40 Gig system partition which is now down to its last
    GB which i find ridiculous seeing i have minimal applications
    installed.

    I have deleted the memory dump file and disabled this function, and run
    a defrag which now has given me 4GB of space. Now a quick check shows
    about 22 GIG of installed apps including the OS and a 5 GIG pagefile.

    where is the other 14 GIG gone ? Any tips ?

  3. Create a larger partition for Vista. Quit trying to fight a losing battle.
    Seriously.

    Vista plus applications requires a larger partition than the 40gb you have
    allowed for it.. you need at the very least 60gb, and preferably 80gb..

    Partly it may have gone to System Restore and temp files.

    40 gig is just not sufficient for a Vista partition. I would suggest that
    you get another much larger hard disk, and clone to it, altering the
    partition sizes on the way.
