Win7 install footprint is nowhere near that. Not even remotely close.
Nope, I figured that out pretty quick :)
But most oems load it down with things, swap file and a hibernation file can
add a couple gig, etc.
Oh yes, tons of useless apps, but these are already either uninstalled or
disabled. This is why I'm a bit lost...
Win7 has most of the basic drivers built in for the most part. A 32bit win7
install can be done in a 16g drive. A 64 in a 20. My sizes at base were:
10.7, 13.9. Ymmv.
My thoughts, too. The install is a 32/64 hybrid of the Premium Home version.
Don't know if that particular version is special for Europe or not.
Note: is is about 60% of a vista install, so its slimmed down quite a bit
I hear you. Slipstreaming is the next subject on the menu.

Hi,
I recently bought my mom a laptop with Win7. Fine.
Not so fine is that the C: partition seems to occupy +34 gigabytes.
What I want is to be able to make a ghost image within reasonable limits. +34
gigabytes doesn't seem so.
As of yet unexperienced with Win7, is this the normal disk (ab)use of the O/S?
Slipstreaming?
