Hi all,
Instaling Flash on Win XP SP3:
Error; "You do not have sufficiant disk space to complete this installation.
Please free 5000 KB and try again."

I am running on H:/ & flash wants to auto install to C:/

Can you please tell me how to trick my system to thinking its running on C:/ ?

Disk management wont let me change the drive letter.
I've forgotten how to do this one.
Can you help, pls?

Any particular reason that Windows is *not* on C:?

How many drives do you have? Please identify them all and tell us how
much free space you have on each.

Hi Daave;
ty for your assistance :-)
It (XP) installed to H.
Its 80gig, & has 69% free. No other hard drives; C,D, E, F are external
drives & G is a DVD.
I had this problem once before; I was advised to go to "Run".... & tell the
computer that H was C. Then I could install Flash.

Hi,

have you tried installing from a setup file and not automatically from a
website? then you can specify the location of installation destination.

What happens when you turn off your PC, disconnect your four external
hard drives (they can always be reconnected), and reboot your PC?
