Can't get XP SP2 to install
When trying to install SP2, I get the following message:
Not enough dik space on C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$ to install Service Pack2. Setup requires a minimum of 1 additional MB of free space or if you also want to archive the fales for uninstallation, Setup requires 1 additional MB of free space. Free additional space on your hard disk and try again. I have 8GB of free space on my hard drive. Is this not enough? I've installed it on a computer that had much less. Can anyone tell me how to get around this? Thanks |
Sometimes this message is misleading! Try cleaning out your temporary files

I've cleaned up and deleted all files that I possibly can and still get the
message. I'm sure that I actually do have enough disk space, just don't know how to convince it of that. "Yves Leclerc" wrote: Sometimes this message is misleading!

Last possible thing to try is to try to install SP2 while in Safe Mode. I
am not sure if you can do this since I was always able to insta;; SP2 in standard mode. "hustedj" wrote in message ... try defraging your drive.
