I’ve heard that if you give an OS the entire thing, the comp start’s to slow down. I’m going to install Windows 7 Ultimate and want to give it enough room for the OS on a partition up front and partition the rest for storage. What is recommended?

I installed a new 200 GB drive. My old drive (C drive) on which the OS is installed is low on disk space and I’ve tried everything I can to remove unnecessary files and programs (including changing where Documents and Settings are stored). I’d like to avoid reinstalling XP. Is it possible to copy the C drive onto a partition on the new drive and then have the machine boot from this instead?

I’m currently running Vista, gonna partition my hard drive and install Windows 7 on partitioned area. Once I do so, how do I make Windows 7 my boot OS and wipe Vista partition so my drive is no longer partitioned and I’m only running Windows 7?

I have a PC that is currently dual booting Windows Vista and Linux Mint. I’m not that fond of Linux Mint and want to explore other options. Can I simply delete that volume and put it back with my Windows partition, or do I have to uninstall GRUB loader or anything like that?

I also want to know if all of my windows programs have to be on the same partition as the windows OS. Thanks!

my dad formatted the harddrive from the os installation menu. i asked a prequel question earlier if the os format only formatted the os partition. i have two other partitions on the harddrive that i want to recover. how do i go about doing this?

I am running Fedora Core 5 on my laptop and I have Windows XP Media Center on my desktop which is connected to the internet via LAN. I want to know how I can connect to the internet from my laptop using my desktop’s net connection. I already have all the physical connections set up (network adapters and cable) and I’m already using my network for file sharing. Please don’t offer any suggestions on using Linux as host (I already know how much safer it is). I want help on dealing with situation as it.

Incidentally, I’m also facing trouble using ICS from my XP partition on the laptop. It used to work flawlessly before, but I think after I installed Fedora it stopped working (although file and printer sharing areOK). I ran the ICS wizard again on each comp, but it didn’t work. Any suggestions on what might cause that?
