    You never did answer our question as to why you are choking your OS with a 20GB partition. If you have but one drive it will consume 20GB with a small number of programs and Updates.

    its inevitable I already have 80GB divided into 4 partitions and my 500GB HDD is fried up since I have no chouce to bakcup I had to squeze the OS into 20GB today somehow I managed to Extend the partition to 40GB thanks to people like you who helped me a lot..

    Okay, I see. You can try the Free Partition Wizard bootable version and extend the whole OS partition to 80GB without losing any data you may have there.

    Partition Wizard Bootable CD allows user to manage partition directly with partition manager bootable CD.

Windows 7 on a Pentium M?

I have an older laptop with Pentium M 1.6 GHz, 1GB RAM, an Intel graphics card on the mobo. I am having trouble sharing files with a box with 64 bit Windows 7. Someone said it's better to have the same OS. Is it possible to run 32 bit Win 7 on the oldie (of course, with Aero off)? Thanks!
