I bought a Windows 7 Professional edition through the student discount for about $30 got the $200 hundred dollar edition professional. The download was fully official through microsoft and Iriver in an ISO format.

My issues is I had a Vista 32bit os prior. I did a clean install and the new 32 bit OS Win 7 did not give itself a large partition to protect its original installed state. The partition it installed on my clean 500 GB drive was about 100 MB that I can not access. The files for the system seem to be in the easily accessible partition where all my media, games and text files are stored on the typical C drive.
Should I try to reinstall the Win 7 OS, or is this ok? I’m worried that I might accidently download something with a virus, or click on the wrong website and get a virus. The fear is if I get a virus I may not be able to save my system from corruption, everything being in practically the same partition and all.
I may not really know what I am talking about here, can anyone give me an answer to help me out, on whether the install went properly or not?
