Hi
Here are some ways to increase the free space on your system partition.
Please let us know how it goes.
In particular you can move the uninstall folders and files to another
partition, or you can delete them. If deleted, you will not be able to
uninstall any of the updates.

Also:
Look at where the ISA logs are kept
You can move the C:\windows\uninstall$ folders off your system root, but you
may want to keep them in case you have to move them back.
Remove any folders or files under the c:\documents and settings\user
name\local settings\temp folders.
If Monitoring is enabled it can create a file that could be large. Run
through the wizard again to flush out the gooey stuff..
Delete logs older than "date of your choice" from the system32 folder.
Likewise the logs and reports from the ISA folder.
Search for and delete old dmp files.
You can move the page file to another partition. The only downside is that
if you get a "blue screen" you will not get a full memory dump, and since
only MS can read them anyway, I don't see that it matters much.
You may gain some usable space and increase system performance in Windows
Server 2003 by moving the printer spool files to a different drive than the
one that holds the operating system. Note that this should be a different
spindle, but a different partition will help the OS a bit also.
By default, Windows Server 2003 places the printer spool folder at
%systemroot%\System32\Spool\Printers. However, you can potentially increase
system performance by moving the printer spool files to a different drive
than the one that holds the operating system.
Computers frequently access system files, so moving the printer files to a
different location allows faster access to those files. The drive won't have
to try to service requests simultaneously.
To change the location for the printer spooler files, follow these steps:
1. Go to Start | Printers And Faxes.
2. From the File menu, select Server Properties.
3. On the Advanced tab, enter the location where you would like to spool
print jobs. If the location doesn't exist, this process will create it for
you. Make sure the new location has sufficient disk space to handle large
print jobs.
4. Stop and restart the printer spooler service, or reboot the server.

I am an installation of SBS2003 SP1 since JAn005 that has gotten almost all
the space of the main disk partition.
It has made all the updates until today but I suppose that some hosfix
have
gotten the space and they are on the disk even when they must be erased by
the system I think that because any software has been installed since
lasr
year on this partition, only the updades have gotten the space.
I would like to know how I can free space erasing anything. For example,
how
can I eliminate the hosfix if they are there.
Thanks you
.
