    Hi, I am trying to install WIndows 7 on the above netbook for my nephew as it's currently running lipus. When doing so it states there are only a 6.5GB and 1.5GB partitions but I've read that this model comes with a 160GB HDD. How can I access the rest of the drive space to install Windows?

    Appreciate any help.

    it sounds like the model you have is the same as mine.

    The ones running linpus came with an 8GB SSD drive, the one you are thinking of was the windows version that shipped with a 160GB HDD and extra ram.

    so your options are a bit limited, the main one being, replace the SSD drive with a new zif drive, or a new SSD drive

    The original post is a little old, but just incase your still looking or if someone else comes this way, I have a ZG5 which shipped with Linpus Lite and a 120GB HDD so it's not just the Windows one with the proper HDD (rather than SSD).

    As for your original issue, sounds like you want to delete all the partiions and set it up from scratch.
