I'm soon to be building another pc and i'm going to have, among other drives, a 60-64gb boot drive, i cant remember what it was but somewhere some time ago i heard that there is something i need to be wary of when putting my OS on a smaller drive, something about pagefile taking up too much space that windows7 cant update or "something" like that, any tips guys?
 
Solution
Windows 7 should use about 15-20GB of storage space plus however much space Service Pack 1 and updates uses. Pagefiles could possibly be an issue. You could delete the pagefile or allocate less space if you want. If you have enough memory, then pagefiling shouldn't be too much of an issue.
