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.
