I currently have a cut down windows 7 on it. But even cut down my version was like 6 gbs. It wasnt a problem until I wanted to play a small game (terreria) and I had to install Microsoft framwork XNA. That pushed me over the top.... It says Im low on discspace every time I log on. What should I do?
I would like to keep playing terreria on the go because its a great portable game. Is there a way I can make windows 7 even smaller?

I really dont want to go back to xp but if I have to I have to.

Please tell me your thoughts.

Thanks.

have you tried vlite and if you decide on Win XP try nlite

nLite and vLite are freeware applications which create customized installation CDs of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista/Win 7. nLite and vlite lets users customize and remove components from their Windows installation disc

just a thought.....

BTW: another option is to check to For Sale section on the forum here and possible look for a larger 16/32GB SSD drive....so glad I got a 750gb drive (lol)

8GB is really too small for WIn7. It is just barely sufficient for a minimal XP. Personally, I am not a fan of Vlite as too often a user removes a feature that ends up being essential to the working of the system.

my 7 right now is vlited
I might just download tinyxp or something because I dont feel like nliting... I really like how windows 7 ran... but I guess i will have to get rid of it.

I dont really want to buy another ssd because I only paid 100$s for this laptop and I really dont want to put more money into it.

Are there some files you can move to an SD card?

You got a nice deal at on $100 - take a looks at Steve's suggestion. I save everything to a SDHC & all downloads go there too.

You might consider another OS to solve your space problems.

bite the bullet, spend the bucks and just get a bigger drive

Larger Drive = No Problems/Headaches

My opinion is that it is not worth the investment nowadays. I'd take the money and put it into a newer model netbook, if that's what you want.

I rather buy to extend the memory than taking this problem on and on....

I've never understood why people opt for such a small HDD space. I understand you got this in a deal for cheap which is cool, but having any less than the 160GB I currently have on my netbook just wouldn't work for me.

I agree with rrfranczak3, get a bigger hard drive. Or failing that, install your game to an external drive, then it's even more portable.
