I bought an old netbook for 40 quid, and it had pcworld's tech guys thing on

so I try to reformat xp with their tech guys software, which just killed xp completely

I tried vista, but after updates it held about 60gb of hard drive (on an 80gb drive)

Windows 7 runs very nicely on it, and only takes up 20gb (I've installed a 320gb drive on it anyway)
