Hi all, I saw one other post that mentioned this but did not see a thread about it.
We just reimaged our 2010 classmate with the 2011 Windows 7 image and installed the classmate update and the driver station update. The whole install process ran smoothly; however, I’m seeing some errors with the paging file… it appears to be only about 859 MB when the recommended size is 1522 MB. The classmate has 1 GB of RAM.
The problem is we have yet to install LabView and some of the other software, but we are already down to under 4 MB of available disk space, generating a low disk space error. Also of note is that the hardware indicates that it has a 16 GB disk, but the size of the drive showing in windows explorer is only 9.79 GB… seems like an awfully large discrepancy! I would expect it to be around 14 or 15 GB.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
Does anyone know why this is occuring and if there is any way around it? I can’t see this setup as being very usable the way it is now.
We’re also having this problem. Less than a gig of space left, and we still need to install Netbeans, the JDK, and the SunspotFRC SDK.
The extra disk space is taken up by a recovery partition that’s more than 5 gigs. I’m not sure why that’s necessary, since we have the restoration keys.
Also, does anyone know where we should download the stuff we need for Java developement? I could download the JDK and Netbeans from the Netbeans site, but I haven’t a clue where to get SunSpot.
I’m assuming the image to reimage the cRio is included somehow in that stuff? Right now when we try to reimage, the Imaging Tool says it can’t find any images.
I’d suggest going into Programs and Features in the Control Panel. There, if you click on Turn Windows features on or off, you can try turning off Games, Windows DVD Maker, Windows Media Player, etc. in order to save disk space.
Disabling hibernation and System Restore can reduce disk usage, but you will lose the advantages that they provide.
