Vista taking up large ammounts of space.

Metalfingers · 09-29-2009, 10:22 AM

I've had my computer since early May, and one of the first things I noticed was that the OS was installed on the 32 GB SSD I had put in, instead of the 500GB HDD. I didn't think much of it at first, but now the drive is almost completely full, sitting between 50-300MB at any given time. This is preventing me from updating drivers, windows updates, etc.

My specs are:

Vista Home Premium 64 bit, SP1

6GB Ram

2.67ghz core i7 920 CPU

32GB RiDATA SSD

500GB HDD

I'm sure the 32GB just isn't enough for the OS to be on, but I have installed all my games/programs on the 500GB HDD.
