Make sure you have disabled the swap/page file. That will take up a ton of room if you don't disable it, not to mention it has been said that excessive writes can be bad for your SSD(see your eee XP install instructions on how to disable it.

Also, if you haven't done so already, try slimming down your XP install by using nLite. Running some tests on a 2G partitIon on another computer I got my XP install down to 472M(250M on the install CD) but that is without SP2 and patches installed yet. Adding Word and Excel bumped it up to about 650M. I would guess that with SP2 and patches it would be close to 1G which should leave a gig for storage and other programs.

Try CCleaner, also make sure you've deleted the hidden directories in \Windows created by Windows Update?
