    I did a clean install of Vista 64 bit ealier today. I have yet to install anything on my harddrive and 52 GB are already used up, is that normal? It seems a little high to me, but I'm not sure. This is after I sent windows.old to the recycle bin and deleted it from there.

    Doesn't sound right, from what i have read it should only use about 15GB. Maybe your have partition something wrong.

    did you keep the old windows file? it has everything you had before. find windows.old or something like that in your C drive and see how big it is, if you don't want it just delete it
