Memory Space on Classmate

[aechmtwash11]

Anyone else notice that when you re-image the classmate there is very little space left over?

My team didn't reformat our 2010 classmate yet, we're probably going to do it Monday, but I am guessing the Windows 7 OS eats a more hefty chunk than what is it 6? year old XP, maybe some new programs in the image eats some SSD space also.

It's actually not the Windows 7 installation itself. The problem is the recovery partition. It takes up a large amount of space which presents a problem on such a small capacity SSD. You can reinstall with a customized installation script discussed in this (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88640) thread. Another option is to use third party partitioning software and manually delete the partition. Make sure to back up any data before trying any alternative.
