It seems that my drive space (the partition Win 7 is on) keeps getting smaller even though I haven't added any programs or large amounts of data. I'm not talking a great deal of space just 200...

This isn't a huge issue, but it certainly is an annoying one. I set up a data partition which contains all of my music and common files. I clean installed the 32-bit version of RC 7100 on a separate partition, and the 64-bit version of RC7100 on yet another partition. Vista 64 remains on its own...
