Cannot install XP service packs - not enough space error

Hi, Gilchrist, I lost my XP Pro according to the headder. When I try and reinstall it from the original disk, XP pro installed. The problem is when I try and install SP2 or SP3 States screen that there is not enough hard disk space. He reads that 2012 mb instead of the 6.45 GB. All ideas now to overcome this obstacle.

Best regards.

    You can not install Vista Service pack 2 and get the error with code 800f0a09 and the message that there are problems with the driver for dell latitude.

    The problem may occur if some of the components of the update are corrupt.

    Well, you very probably not a lot of space on the left under/Home.

    You can move to another location that is located on/home/oracle/orInventory the / partitioning of the partition where you probably have more space left if you used the default value.

    Update /etc/oraInst.loc and replace

    cannot make back-up = not enough space.  error code 0 x 80070070. does take 60G, but I have 400G external HD. !  What should do?

    The error pops up because there is not enough space in the system reserved partition...

    Download and run the Aomei Partition Manager...

    http://www.disk-partition.com/partition-software.html

    Then, run it.

    The goal is to take a small amount of C to the FRONT of the C partition and add it to the system reserved partition.

    So, select C and the RESIZING option.

    Remove about 200 MB and apply the change. No matter if it's a little more than 200 mb.

    It will take some time to apply because everything has to be mixed on C.

    When you're finished, return to the Partition Manager and select the system reserved partition and the ability to RESIZE.

    Add the free space on the partition system and apply the change BUT does NOT give a letter of the system reserved partition.

    Once rebooted, you should be able to continue your work and get some people make mistakes...

  • Time Machine-not enough space error

    Hi all

    I had to unplug my computer and move it to another room and now after all hang up, I get this message "not enough space for full backup". There are about 150 GB to 2 TB disk space as it is filled with iTunes and Time machine backups.

    I guess it's because ever since I hooked everything back up Time Machine think it is made the first backup of everything rather than pick up where he left off when he made the last backup?

  • "Not enough space" error windows install during the installation of Windows vista SP2 software

    Original title - cannot install Windows Installer 3.1 on Windows Vista Home Edition

    I use windows vista home with service pack 2 installed. I have a custom made software. Before installing this software, I need to install 4 i.e. cystal reports, dotnet, report viewer and Windows Installer 3. I was able to install the first 3, but the windows installer fails, it is said to be "saturated". I also tried MSI 4.5 but of no use. My software runs well on Windows XP. The interesting thing is that I return this software a year and I installed it on vista and it worked fine. Now I have re-installed windows vista on my computer and had updated. Now this problem. Could there be a reason why some update to windows vista, I installed now wasn't there last year that causes the problem. Can anyone help.

    Hi tbilal22


    Windows Installer 4.5 comes pre-installed with Windows Vista and Windows Vista SP1. Please refer to the article for more information-

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/942288

     

    It is possible that the old software, it is not compatible to be used with Windows Vista SP2. I suggest you try software installation by using the Windows Vista or XP on Windows Vists SP2 compatibility mode and check if you are able to solve the problem.

    Compatibility mode is used if a program written for an earlier version of Windows does not work properly. Then, you can use the program compatibility Wizard to change the compatibility of the program settings. To manually change the settings of a program, use the individual program's compatibility tab

    You can check the link for assistance on compatibility mode - mentioned below

    Hello Steventomaryn,

    You need to remove all previous versions of the .net framework from the computer and then you will have to re - install on the computer.

    To remove all versions of .net frameworks of the computer download and run the .net Framework Cleanup Utility from the link below:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/attachment/8904493.ashx

    Once you have deleted all the .net framework on the computer, restart the computer, and then run Windows Update s and it will start to install all updates to update .net framework.

    This should solve your problem. Please answer me if it helps.

    Cheers and enjoy... :))

  • Cannot install the Service Pack

    After a fresh my Windows vista 32 bit OS and before reformatting to install all programs, I am now unable to install Service Pack 1. Both in standalone or through windows update.

    At the beginning of the phase 3 installation of 3, the computer screen will corrupt (black with white verticle lines) and remains corrupted for 10 hours. Eventually an interference between step 2 of 3 and my graphics card/driver? If I turn the system still works between 3 to 10 hours and boot mode safe, corruption will go and step 3 of 3 will start 35%. If left at 100% he inform to me that he couldn't install and restoration of the changes.

    The PC is a Dell XPS420 standard with upgrade G-card (GeForce 9800 GT) using the latest drivers and ram upgrades.

    I had no end of problems with windows update. Indeed, I reformatted the OS simply because windows update was previously impossible to install SP2 (missing error element) I tried everything recommended on the net by the countless times (checksur/fixit/sfc/autonomous/safe mode) for more than 20 hours and am about to throw the pc out the window.

    There is no virus programs or indeed all running programs and the windows firewall is disabled.

    Anyone who reads this may have a similar problem could try to uninstall the driver graphics card by going to Device Manager, find the graphic card and uninstalling the driver.

    It is possible that this is what I should have done rather than reformat or try to repair, sfc, fixit or checksur my operating system scan when I found myself unable to install SP2 a few days ago.

    If you are in a similar position, use a GeForce 9800gt and consider to reset your Vista operating system to the original image, give this a go first.

    If you are a microsoft engineer and are pondering ways to improve the experience of vista, I would suggest removing the reccomendation "solution found - go to the NVIDIA website and search for the latest version of the driver" who appears almost instantly after the re-establishment of a system like mine to the factory settings and suggests instead that they are downloaded all updates first using windows update. One of these updates (after SP1) seems to have included a functioning driver for my graphics card and now it seems to work normally when installing SP2 successfully.

    Now if only I could get these 30 hours of my life back...
