I have Win XP Pro SP1. I want to install SP2 but it is just not allowing me.
It says it needs 550 MB free space. But I have only 50 MV Free space.
I do not have any programs installed in C: and also tried running Disk
Cleanup, but that did not help.
I had 700 MB free space when I installed Win XP. I do not know whats taking
up so much space. It seems like some system files are duplicating itself.
Can someone help me delete these duplicate files and help me install SP2.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also, what is the address for Microsoft Newsgroup?
I am using msnews.microsoft.com but it is giving me the following error:
Configuration:
Account: Microsoft
Server: msnews.microsoft.com
Protocol: NNTP
Port: 119
Secure(SSL): 0
Code: 800ccc0e

You installed Windows XP on a partition with only 700MB free in the first
place?
I recommend at least 8GB of space for your system partition. 4GB is a more
common number.

What all is on your C:\ (system) drive?
