therock003 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I would like your opinions on which components services and whatnot to strip in order to install Win 7 on a new system and not have it run longer than 20+ GB. Every time i have installed the 7 it went 20-23GB just for the installation and since this is going to be an SSD i dont want so many space wasted with useless data.I'm going to use the vLite application for the feature removal.Is it possible to make it a 7 to 10 at most GB installation while still have essential functionality?

therock003 Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm either going to use a 60 or 120 drive. But i really need the Space for Application and Games. Otherwise it would be useless to have a drive so that i can only have space for the OS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 How can your Win7 be 20~23GB when my stock 7 Pro is only.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irisxi Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I would also like to know this. I'm currently trying install Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my SSD and it'd be nice to have the smallest possible installation size with essential utilities.

grabben Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 How can your Win7 be 20~23GB when my stock 7 Pro is only.....?How can yours only be 6 GB? Its not an unmodified iso/dvd then..Use 7Lite and strip away what you dont want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grabben Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Ah Windows 7 Starter then I get it... But now I dont get why your using Starter edition, unless its a pretty small ssd and/or a netbook (a softer one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsenellenelvian Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Windows 7 Pro x86 with hibernate turned off is 6.02gigs right after a fresh install! (Turned off hibernate just after first boot.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock003 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Wait i dont get it. What's with the 6GB installation? Is it just for the starter?I just installed an unmodified win 7 home premium yesterday and it shaved a nice clean 14GB from my RAID 0 SSD. It dropped from 111.0 GB to 97.0 just after the first boot. I then instaleld basic drivers, framework 3.5 directx and catalyst 10.12, and now it;s 95.5 Free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelsenellenelvian Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Think:Pagefile = ram x 2.5Hibernate file = Somewhat the same size as the page file.x64 = larger install size also.I have 5gigs ram and nearly 9 gigs of space is taken by the hibernate and pagefile files....

therock003 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Ram x 2.5? You mean ram of one stick or the total? I got 2x2gig ram so that's 5gb pagefile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Think:Pagefile = ram x 2.5Oww, comeon ..... 2.5 was a multiplier used in times RAM was really low.With 4 Gb a multiplier of 0.50 to 1.05 is more realistic.I would personally set it as 512 Mb fixed size, but you know how cheap I am. BTW, absolutely not wanting to start yet another pagefile size flame war. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
