Disk Partition Space in WINDOWS VISTA


For All who wondered About Hard Disk Partition Space in WINDOWS VISTA
Now i will tell you the exact partitions.(200GB Hard Drive)

Out of 200 GB - we get 186 GB by default (1024 MB=1GB) calculations.
that means our hard disk total capacity is 186 GB.
and then 9.94GB is utilised for the recovery partition.
so in all total available hard disk space of C drive in the default stages is 176 GB.
Now from 176 GB - Vista OS and preinstalled softwares — takes around 14.5 GB.
which comes to 176-14 = 162 GB.
and another 12 GB of space is utilised by an totally invisible source called the HARD DISK SOURCE FILE of INSTALLATION FOR VISTA OS.
these guys dont provide the cd for source file of vista , but the source file for vista installation is already there in hard disk which is around 12 GB.
so 162-12 = 150 GB,, the total free space in default conditions.
I hope i am correct on it, please let me know if i am wrong Anshuman or anyone.
PS- Please note the difference between VISTA OS and the source file for VISTA OS installation.
