Guest Jack B. Pollack Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Win2K3 Server Trying to install SP2 I get the following message: There is not enough disk space on C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$ to install Service Pack2. Setup requires a minimum of 3 additional megabytes of free space or if you also want to archive the files for uninstallation, Setup requires a minimum of 3 additional megabytes of free space. Free additional space on your hard disk and then try again. The hard drive has 50GB Free Thanks for any help
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Re: There is not enough disk space when installing SP2 Hello Jack, In the run line type diskmgmt.msc, so you see here one Disk with one partition over the 50GB?

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Re: There is not enough disk space when installing SP2 Hello Jack, Click Start, RUN and type "diskmgmt.msc" without the quotes, a new window will open the diskmanagement console. Here you have an overview over the harddisk and it's partitions and free space in a graphical overview.

Guest Meinolf Weber Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Re: There is not enough disk space when installing SP2 Hello Jack, Try this out: - Delete the "$ntservicepackuninstall$" file. - open start run "services.msc", stop automatic update service, then delete the c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder and start the service, the folder will be recreated. - Reboot and then try again. - If you are asked to allow the creation of a file, be sure to allow it Do you install SP from disk or via Windowsupdate.com?
