Hi... Hope someone can help me. I have a virus and am trying to do a fresh clean install of vista home premium. When I boot from the install disc and run the install program it give me error code 0x80004005 and says that my computer does not have enough free space. It advises me to free up enough space in order to copy files. Problem is I have tons of free space on my hardrive. I have two partitions and both have plenty of free space. Help!!

If you have a virus, you may need to delete the partition - go to Drive Options (advanced) - see this tutorial:

You may want to copy off any important data first.

It won't allow me to delete the partition. It says its an active system partition.

You can't delete it from within Windows.
You need to boot the installation disk - it loads files into memory - then select language and keyboard, Install Now - when you see a window like this :
Click Drive Options (advanced).
Click on the partition you wish to delete to highlight it.
Click Delete.
Click New to create a new one from the unallocated space.
Click Format.
Then make sure the partition you want to install on is highlighted ( if not, click on it to highlight it ).
Click Next - it will then install on that partition.

I don't get that far... I boot from the install disc and then click on install and the next thing that happens is the error that says there isn't enough space on the disc. I don't get a chance to pick anything.

I finally got vista to install tonight. The solution was ridiculously simple. I just recently bought a new keyboard and it was USB based. Even though I had set the boot order in the bios to cd/dvd it was still booting off of the hard drive. The computer would ask me to push any key if I wanted to boot from the cd. Well I pushed a key and it did load up windows. Problem was that the USB keyboard was inactive and it was apparently booting from the hard drive as a matter of course when the computer didn't detect a key stroke. Once I switched to a non-USB keyboard the fresh install went like clockwork.
