   To my surprise, about a quarter of that 160 GB is already in use by   
   Windows 7, and I haven't even installed anything new.  Of course that   
   includes a certain amount of "shovelware" although less than I expected.   
     I figure that as long as I have the "system recovery discs" I can do   
   pretty much anything, even nuke Windows completely.
