Greg, you're correct on the size. I went and checked the size of my C
drive and it's at 150GB. About 30GB of that is downloads, but there
isn't much else to trim. Which brings up the question, is it easy to
move the Documents folder, or maybe the whole Users Folder, to a
different drive?

I wouldn't go under 128GB.

Subject: [H] Hard drive weirdness and Shopping for an SSD
I had a little weirdness the other day on my main system. Started to boot
it, ran around to get ready for work, came back and the system was locked at
the pulsing Windows logo, actually that was the screen, but the logo was
gone. Hit cntrl-alt-del and the system restarted. I didn't quite look at
it, but it looked like the system did not detect the boot drive. It gave me
the 'Boot drive not found, insert disk"
message. I turned off power, and reseated all the drive cables, then had
more to do to get ready for work, came back and there was a message about
how the system couldn't boot, press this button and it'll try to fix it.
Hit the button, went off for breakfast. Came back and since that time,
every boot has been successful.
Have no clue as to what was wrong, but I'm figuring it's time to change the
boot drive, so I'm thinking SSD. All I need is enough room for the
operating system and applications, so I'm betting that a 64GB is big enough?
Then, of course, which brand is a good one to get? I was looking at the
Corsair 64GB Newegg has for just over $100. It's rated 5 eggs. Good One?
Thanks...Steve
