Hello,

I have just installed a new hard drive (80G), installed windows XP Home Edition on it, and activated it. Went to the windows update to get the latest updates, First is the SP3 update. So it downloads, and then I get the error message:

There is not enough disk space on F:/ (I have an external hard drive as well, so it put the C drive on the F spot, not a problem)WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$ to install Service Pack 3. Setup requires a minimum of 1 additional megabytes of free space or if you also want to archive the files for uninstallation, Setup requires 1 additional megabytes of free space. Free additional space on your hard disk and then try again.

I had it installed on the previous hard drive which was an 80G as well. But that hard drive was failing so I put in a new 80G. There is nothing on the hard drive but Windows. Why wouldnt there be enough space for SP3? Do I really need that anyway?

I would apprecate any help you have to offer. Dont want to do anything else until I know what to do.

Thank you so much!
