| Updates Storage Space I have a question for you Guys... Is there a way to reduce the amount that Vista Updates Takes on the HDD Without compromising the System Integrity? Is there a local Cache that can be emptied or moved to another location to Free some space on the C Drive regarding Those Updates ? I ask this because there is a big difference between a non-Patched Vista image and a Patched One -- Or Tsemah YSIDE |

| Good question. I'm not sure. I imagine that once the update is installed, it becomes part of the OS and if a user tries to remove it, the OS will become unstable. One downloaded update can have an impact on many files within the OS, especially when it comes to security, so I don't see how moving that particular update will be possible.

| Have you ran Disk Clean? and removed all the (un-needed Temp files) and removing the RESTORE files except the last couple. Can you explain exactly what you mean when you ask. " reduce the amount that Vista Updates"

| He wants Vista updates to go to a separate partition, other than the C drive. Kind like when installing programs to to a different path rather than D.

| Not exactly, Yes, Updates changes existing File inside the OS so Basically, There shouldn't be a difference between a Clean Vista installation and one with all the Patches installed, But there is ! And because of this, i try to minimize that Difference on my Images by eather, Delete some "Magical" Updates Cache, or if i can't, Move it to another Partition. Hope this makes more sense. Or. |

| It does make sense, but can't provide an answer. Regardless of where you install Vista, it's going to create a list of updates for all installed hardware, including the IDs for the type of hardware that will tie the OS installation to that particular PC, e.g. motherboard, processor, etc. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I just don't know.
