Coraleigh,

Our domain controller have 940 MB free space on C drive. Other drives have
more than 20 GB free spaces. I have copied Service Pack 2 installation file
to D drive. And, during installation, I also selected D drive for
uninstallation files of SP2. But, installation failed and I encountered "not
enough free space" message and system crashed. System couldn't uninstall SP2
then didn't open again.

So, according to following article, should I install SP2 from a shared
folder ?

Regards
Ozgur

Hi Ozgur,

The D drive basically has the safe effect as installing from a shared
network folder. The space requirements list needing 1.2GB at peak
installation on your drive C, and while your changing the location of the
uninstallation files helps im sure, you are just cutting it too close. Is
there any space of your C that you can free up? If you cannot free up
anymore space, you could consider moving your Windows page file to one of
your other server local hard drives with space, give this a careful read to
perform this...
