I believe that the process checks all the files indicated in
layout.ini. The required disk space is calculated, and the harddrive
is checked for a contiguous area that's at least this big.
If it can't find that space, this is the error you get.
I would run a defrag first, then issue the command
rundll32 advapi32 ProcessIdleTasks
from the RUN box, this will invoke the boot defrag
process.
You may need to give it 20 minutes to complete,
then check the registry again.
