Hi Everyone,

I have XP Pro running on my 150GB Raptor and I've just tried to install Service Pack 3.
However, shortly into the update it errors and tells me that I've run out of disk space and I need to discard 4MB to continue.
When I checked the drive capacity It shows that I've used 30.2GB and have 109GB as free space! (Incidently the update is about 70mb)

I really dont want to throw anything off the drive so is there any other option here?

I believe there is some sort of windows system file clean up utility, somewhere in the Start Menu

You might want to defragment the hard drive also...

This rings a bell, I think it's Boot Camp related. *checks*

Run CCleaner, then run disk cleanup and use it to remove old restore points.
Edit: oh, and the other thing.

What is CCleaner and how do I run disk cleanup?
Sorry but I dont know my way around XP very well

I dont know what it is about that link, but no matter what I try, it sits forever on it after it loads the window title. Thats it.

Your link did the job perfectly - Thanks for the post

Cool catch charmin. That first link finally loaded for me after letting it sit for ten minutes musta been website troubles at the time.

Thanks again.
