How much hard drive space does Windows 7 use ? I thought it was around 15-20 GB (perhaps that's for 64-bit.) After installing Windows, I noticed only 6.77 GB had been used. To me, that seems incredibly low. Could the amount of RAM affect it? The laptop has only 1 GB.
The reason why I checked the space is because the first install didn't go so well. When the desktop appeared for the first time, the laptop rebooted then it displayed "missing operating system" error. I removed the drive to scan it for any defects. It came back okay. Luckily the laptop has two HDD bays and it worked in the second one.
Does 6.77 GB sounds right? It's been a long time since I installed 32-bit version of Windows.
