Wow! Thanks for the quick response.
When I went to install, I just looked at the size of the download and
thought "that's enough". Microsoft says I need 1.8Gb - so I think I'll suffer
on without.
Another alternative would be getting a CD version of the Service Pack.
Even better if you have access to another system which can create CDs
would be getting a slipstreamed update which would include all the relevant
updates; otherwise you will have more space problems trying to install all
the subsequent maintenance too. We really need an SP3, available on CD...
The reason I mentioned I had 466 MB before I downloaded is that I was meant
to then say that after the download, C: drive now only has 266MB. So, it must
have put 200MB of something somewhere.
Where is it and how can I get rid of it?
There is a $hf_mig$ folder in C:/Windows that seems to have all the previous
KB update folders. Is it there?
Check the root too. Sometimes downloads create new directories there.
Good luck
Robert Aldwinckle

This is probably not enough once the download is de-compressed, and
installed, and backup copies kept. You really need a lot more free hard
disk.
