Windows 7 Pro Installation

Last response: in Windows 7

Greetings,

I'm installing windows 7 pro on a new rig and trying to figure out why the 256gbssd i tossed the os onto is half full already.

i checked the individual folders under c:\ and they don't even add up to that:

c:\perflogs = 0
c:\program files = 240mb
c:\program files (x86) = 138mb
c:\programdata = 10mb
c:\users = 82mb
c:\windows = 10.6gb

i know about that 100mb system reserved partition during clean install and got rid of it so i had a full 230ish of gb's for the entire drive partition. the drive space was still the same before and after getting rid of that reserved chunk.

just can't figure out why/where that 100gb is going that is being used by something.

any advice, suggestions, etc would be greatly appreciated.

i tried that and same thing after installing again. i also just installed win7pro on the 1tb hdd i had for data to see what would happen. the installation is taking the same amount of space on it as well. the 1tb hdd has 812gb free of 931gb space.

the same folder tree and size exists.

not sure whats eating up this phantom 100gb'ish of space.

nothing else has been installed yet except for the sp1 which was on the disk.
