    Hi, Just got my new vaio SB. I've cleaned out the bloat and haven't installed any new programs (yet).

    but 35 gb of my C: is already taken up (I don't mean the partition). I looked it up and a win 7 installation is about 7gb so that's 25+gbs used up on top of win7. Anyone know what this might be?

    I ran that tree size thing and the two main culprits are:

    (1) Windows: 16.8 GB (I though a windows installation was WAY less than that)
    (2) pagefile.sys 8GB (I have 8 Gb ram installed)

    Anything wrong here?
