I just spent the last few days downloading Service Pack 4 on my 56k and I tried to install it and it says I dont have enough disk space - i need 181mb additional space. 2000 is only on a small drive (1.2GB) and little space is free, so iMoved the Pagefile and some other folders to another drive, easily enough to free up 181MB - then it tells me again that theres not enough disk space! I've installed Service packs on 2000 before and I thought they just installed over the previous files, meaning little or no extra disk space is needed (it even says this in the Service Pack readme! (SPNOTES.HTM) I am not archiving the old files by the way, also, so this is not where the space is going. Questions are - is there any way I can install my Service Pack? *and* if i did fee up a lot of disk space, and I got it installed, would the Service Pack files occupy all that space I freed? (because like i said, I thought SPs just overwrite the older files but it seems that this might not be the case now)

Well think before you begin is a good statement. Look at the microsoft HCL. It clearly says: needed: harddisk 2Gb

Also to add to injury, i think you'l find youve downloaded the network install sp4, which you dont need, a windows update sp4 download is about 40 meg.
