I've spent 3 days trying to get a netbook the way I want it. Had XP, but it was screwed up beyond repair. Can't get it to go into the recovery partition by the recommended keypresses. So, I grabbed Win7 Starter. Turns out it is something called Starter-N and I can't get it activated. Then I put Win7 Ultimate on it, knowing I probably shouldn't. Slow as hell. I found a good copy of 7 Starter and installed. It's fast enough and activated, but out of the 8GB on the HD, I have .99GB free
I may have to go with Tiny XP. I don't need a lot of room, but having less than 1GB seems to me a little crazy. 87% of the drive is the OS?
