Now I see what you mean. The setup files are not on root of the drive. They are in a folder labeled Windows7
So you are absolutely right. Making D: active will not work unless he moved the files to D: first (and decompressed them)
Good catch! Sorry that I missed your point the first time.
Good thing it wouldn't allow him to set the partition active anyways, or his system would be hosed!

check your laptop manufacturer for bios updates
you could always just delete as much as you can from the C: drive and do a clean install. You won't be able to format but that's not mandatory.
Check the c:\windows\winsxs folder. I guarantee there is a bunch of files wasting space in there (although I wouldn't recommend deleting them under normal circumstances). You can also disable hibernation and pagefile to free up another couple of gigs..Last edited by sup3rsprt; 24 Aug 2009 at 08:27.
