    I bought my AAO recently that supposidley comes with 8 gigs, but when I first opened my AAO it said i have 3.6 gigs of free space out of 6.4(? i think, i'm away from my AAO, so i'm basing this off memory).
    Out of the box i have less than 4gigs of free space, why is this? Anyone know what i can delete (that's useless)? And how do i delete this stuff (i'm noob).

    Help is appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi there!

    I think your OS is the linpus right? that's the default free space. maybe you're wondering why only 6.4 Gigs. The thing is that the acer recovery disc is set up to only use 6.5Gb of 8GB of the ssd. the missing 1.5 GB is seen as a partition. What i did to my AAO is installed xp and removed all the present partition to free up that 1.5 Gb and make it a full drive c:.

    Dont know how to free up that 1.5GB in linpus though...
