Hi Timmy.

Recently bought my girlfriend an Eee Pc - the 12gb version from Pissy world. It was the Xp version. Got it home and discovered that they had split the 12 gig into two by partitioning it 6 and 6. Downloaded antivirus and latest xp updates and it instantly advised me the boot disc was low on space at 780 meg. This is a problem. Won't be long before it would need the partition deleting as updates go to the windose folder..... Took it back to the supplier and their "expert" started tapping away on the keyboard. When I asked him what he was doing he told me that he was routing all windose updates to the d drive...... Magic eh? After a while he called a colleague and asked him how to do that and discovered that it's not possible. Beware of this problem! Swapped it for a linux one and we're delighted with it!
