it may be because I got the one with all languages in it, but do they all require 9 gigs to install on the windows partition? and if they do, is there a work around? I only made my vista partition 25gigs.

If I understand how SP1 installs correctly, then before it makes changes to your system it backs up your system files, so that SP1 can be uninstalled. I believe this is why it needs more space to install into. I hope this helps. |

Hi Paleghost,
If everything is running smooth with the SP1 and you do not plan on uninstalling it, then you can see how to remove the SP1 backup files in this tutorial to save a chunk of hard drive space. I saved 1.6 GB. SP1 Disk Cleanup Tool Shawn |
