I CAN'T HELP BUT DERAIL THREADS WITH MY VERY PRESENCE

The Microsoft site says 64bit Windows 7 needs 20GB free disk space but it's only using 10GB on my other partition. Could I install Windows 7 onto a 16GB solid state drive or will it say it needs more space or some poo poo?

Are there any good, light weight firewalls for Windows? I'm trying to reject a set of IP addresses, rather than block them, but Windows Firewall doesn't seem to have this functionality. I'm trying to disable the Virgin Youtube Cache if that helps.

For my personal education, can I ask what the difference between either would be?

From my limited knowledge, block just ignores the packet, reject actually sends a response. In this case, blocking the youtube cache means there'll be a 3 second delay, where rejecting it there won't be.

Also I am really bad at networking.
