Bloat Part II - Vista's Revenge

Welp, it appears the Vista image I created needs all that room because the small amount of memory I'm able to allocate to it (512MB) is not nearly enough coupled with the paltry 8GB partition I had it create. I
tried to mount a new drive and use gparted to copy the old partition over, but that didn't work.

So, I deleted the old drive, reloaded Vista on the new one, and with 20GB it seems to work fine. Still a little slow, but the whole machine only has 3GB of RAM to begin with, so I can't let it get too greedy.

Thank you, Microsoft for the resource hogging masterpiece that is Vista.
