    Backup your own files and remove them. Uninstall a maximum of programs. Then remove the shadowstorage. That should get Vista down to less than 20GBs. Check it with WinDirStat ( WinDirStat - Windows Directory Statistics ) before you do the Win7 installation.

    hmm...i have tried running compcln from cmd prompt and it says that this is not a recognized internal or external command, operable program or batch file

    i was using an elevated "administrator" cmd prompt; i also followed the path into my windows32 folder and that compcln.exe file isnt there as far as i can see
