Installation problem: (there is not enough free space to store the temporary files of Windows installation)

I install Windows 7 Ultimate update on Vista Ultimate. Compatibility check says I can go for it.

I have 348 GB of free space and 2.4 GB of Ram. I run Disk Cleanup and is are free programs on hard drive. When I run the installer, it gives me this message

There is not enough free space to store the temporary files of Windows installation.

I'd appreciate any help to overcome this problem.

Tried the fix you suggested. He changed nothing

You may be able to mark the partition on which is installed the operating system as being active.

  1. Open Control Panel by clicking the Start button, and then click Control Panel.
  2. Click system and Maintenance.
  3. Click on Administrative Tools.
  4. Double-click computer management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  5. In the navigation pane, click the disks as storage management.
  6. Select the volume that contains the existing installation of Windows Vista. In general, it is the C drive.
  7. Right-click on the volume and select Mark Partition as Active.
  8. Click Yes to confirm the action.

Could also contribute to:

If you have several hard drives remove all except the one that you install Windows 7, and then replace it after Windows 7 is installed.

Disable startup programs:
(A) click Start, type MSCONFIG in the search box and press ENTER.
OK the authorization of user account control and password if necessary
If you are using XP: click Start, run, and type: MSCONFIG and click OK.
(B) on the general tab, click Selective startup.
(C) just below the selective startup, clear the checkbox "Load Startup items".
(D) click the Services tab, check "Hide all Microsoft Services", and then click Disable all.
(E) click OK, and then restart the computer.
(F) try the upgrade again.

(NOTE: If the upgrade fails and you continue to use your rear security software, then also go back into MSCONFIG and under the general Tower XP/Vista tab, click "Normal startup", and then click OK to exit.)

Also:

You need more than half of your drive is empty instead upgrade. If your reader is 1.0 TB (1, 000 GB), you need 500 GB + to be free.

If you cannot free enough space, you need to move data to external storage.

    Because the backup will replace the contents of the camera as well, this should be no problem.

  • VMWare Fusion claiming there is not enough free space

    For some reason any VMWare Fusion I cannot expand my drive saying that there is not enough free space even if I almost free 100gbs. I am able to create a second virtual hard disk without problem.

    You do not host disk space appropriate to perform a resize or move from a to a disk of type twoGbMaxExtentSparse monolithicSparse and your only option if you cannot release a sufficient amount of space host is temporarily copy the Package to the Virtual Machine on an external drive with enough free disk space to perform a resize or move from a to a disk of type twoGbMaxExtentSparse monolithicSparse and test that everything is correct before copy it back. You must also make sure you have a good backup before conversion of the type of disc or resize and Time machine is not a backup for virtual machines.  In addition, make sure that the virtual machine is stopped, not suspended and VMware Fusion is closed when you are backing up the VM or copy/move the virtual computer.

  • cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library

    cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in iTunes (required additional 194.8 MB) library.

    It is not supposed to because I have enough memory on my iPad.

    Help, please

    Not based on what? You have not provided any information as to the amount of space you have left and what is the total capacity of your iPad. He must leave a certain percentage of the free capacity at all times, so if you have a 32GB device and you are up to 2 GB of free storage, which could in fact be severed close... If it says you need to 194.8 MG of free space that would be in addition to the amount that you see as free space.

    It also depends on what you're trying to sync on iTunes as well. What content, apps, songs, etc.

    So... can provide you more details?

  • System will not defragment because there is not enough free space. I did a disk clean up and cannot dump tons of recently deleted files.

    Believe me, I tried to remove about preprinted text 10 times.  Maybe because I was working from an IPad it wouldn't let me.  I knew it would annoy people, SORRY.  I knew I was going to be loading a lot of info. on an old computer that is running window XP w / SP 3, so I started deleting old files and uninstalling old programs.  I guess I deleted a lot of things and now I can't defragment my hard drive.  There is a lot of memory, but because I can't defragment all of the things that I deleted, I only have 6% free space.  I downloaded a defragmentation. program and who has not really helped.  I ran a disk cleanup as well.  I don't get the other error messages that there is insufficient disk space.  I need to know how to get all the stuff to delete/uninstall on my hard drive, so I can have more free space.

  • Not enough disk space to convert the iPhoto photo library

    My wife iPhoto library has about 9 500 photos. She has a MacBook Air, which has limited hard disk space, so we put his iPhoto library on a SD card (which is still in its SD slot). We decided to convert the iPhone photo library. When the process is started, it happens about 4% on the progress bar when a popup said that there is not enough disk space to perform the task (said to 72GO). How can I complete this process? She wants to ensure its iPhone and iPad Air can all share all the photos via iCloud. Can I put the library of Photos on the SD card too? Once the synchronization of library of Photos with iCloud, not all large digital images disappear from MacBook Air and only a miniature remain (like on the iPhone and the iPad)?

    I decided to try the procedure on my original post on my MacBook Pro.

    I copied the Library.photoslibrary Photos of my MBP to an external hard drive connected to my MBP.

    I did an "Option" + then click on 'Photos' selected the "Library.photoslibrary Photos" on my external hard drive. This produces the following pop-up message:

    "This library contains items to download from iCloud photo library".

    "To download the complete library, delete the incomplete elements, then set this library as the library of the system preferences and activate iCloud photo library. This will disable iCloud photo library on other libraries. »

    "Delete the incomplete items" or "quit".

    I clicked on "Quit" and posted above.

  • Not enough free space on the drive to intall Brother MFL - Pro Suite

    My PC is running Windows XP Home Edition Version 2002, Service Pack 3 and I had my Brother MFC-9440CN multifunction printer for about 2 or 3 years and it worked without problems during this period.

  • Microsoft cannot open or save documents more because there is not enough disk space or memory

    Using the Chrome browser in Windows 10 attachments to emails sent to my Gmail account are not available. The error message is the same mentioned in the first request:

    "Microsoft Excel cannot open or save all the documents more because there is not enough disk space or memory.

    The solution is simple - it's just a stupid error message that has nothing to do with the real problem, and the problem is actually a feature of microsoft, is also often:
    -office now has a kind of function 'protected mode', which prevents the office applications to do things under certain conditions.
    -One of them is to stop excel from opening attachments from outlook :-(

    Go to options Excel, the Privacy Center, settings and uncheck all options on "protected from view.

    Save and voila, suddenly excel can open all the files and has absolutely no problem with your GB of free memory.

    Thanks to the brilliant mind who has designed such an awkward feature with the awkward error messages and options ultra deep to clear - and of course no simple help.
