Re: Install SP2 needs more hard disk space

I'm not sure if the files got to "temp" I think SP2 creates a folder in the root of any available drive that has enough space. Generally "C:\" gets used but I assume if there is not enough space and another drive (say "D:\") is available it will use that.

I'm sure someone else will put me straight if that's not the case.

I want to install service patch 2 but the relevant computer hasn't got enough
room. I don't have the latest partition magic to expand the partition, nor
do I want to reinstall the operating system. I got nothing to temporarily
eliminate. It's just a barebone system for testing.

I have mounted another partition of 10G to windows\temp directory as I
believe that is where the temporary files go. I got update error. Can
somebody tell me how to go around it?
