    I opened my X300 box got it connected for registration and java update etc.. i noticed so far 22.5GB is used

    is it because of vista ?

    i plan to have dual boot with ubuntu linux but with 22.5GB used i might take out the vista!

    whats your experience?

    You could do a clean install and delete the recovery partition and I imagine that would free up some of that space.

    how do you like your X300? anyway, here is a small post that i made some time ago. it worked well for me, hopefully you too. system protection is the main culprit.
