Re: Lack of HD Space On Classmate Netbook
Thanks for the links Mark.

We've already finished the imaging process, and removed a lot of the non-essential stuff, and installed our development suite.

I was hoping someone had a different procedure other that FIRST's, as theirs required reimaging the driver station again.

If anyone is curious however, deleting the recovery partition, moving the 100MB System partition to the beginning of the drive, and then resizing the Windows partition using a utility like gParted, or any of the various partitioning utils on Hiren's BootCD *does* work - provided you boot off a Win7 recovery CD (err USB rather...) afterwards, and let the automatic startup diagnostic tool update your boot BCD entries.

If you don't do that last step, your Classmate will repeatedly restart itself when trying to boot.
