arachnyd Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I have an 8 GB SSD primary, with 64 GB additional storage, but it's too slow for an OS.Can I run Vista business on an 8GB drive if I don't store any other programs/files in that drive?I know the quick answer is "just run XP", but I have an extra Vista w/license, and even though I have XP with license, I don't have th xp tablet disk (although I do have a key) and this is for an X41 tablet. Vista business has tablet functions, so I'd prefer not to have to either buy a new drive or buy a new OS.I've been trying to work with Vlite but its a PITA, so I was kind of hoping I could just put the full version of vista in.

nitroshift Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 It just won't fit on 8GB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 My standard Vista Business x32 image is 9.7GB. That is without drivers, but does include SP1 and dotnetfx 3.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrichdesa Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Vista Requires Minimum Of 15 GB Free Space To Function Optimally. I Back This Statement With My Vista Ultimate x86 Which Uses Around 10 GB. This Includes Service Pack 1 And System Drivers(I Did A Fresh Install Just 2 Days Ago)I'd Say Vista Business Would Require Much More Than The Recommended 15 GB, You Will Be Installing Huge Software That Run In Gigabytes Like Photoshop, MS Office And Other Business Monitoring Tools!Sorry Bro!
