XP Service Pack 3 - Unable To Install

[iPhoneyboy]

Has anyone been able to install the new XP Service Pack 3 Update?

I have successfully been running XP Pro (Service Pack 2) on a MacBook, but the new Service Pack 3 won't install. It keeps giving me error messages - "not enough disk space" - specifically "4 mb of more space needed". Which is BS. My partition 32 gb... with nothing else installed. I have tried freeing up 4 more mb... but no go. Same error message everytime.

Has anybody done Service Pack 3 yet?

Thanks!

Found this on the issue for you. when i got the error,what i did was when the error screen popped up it said something like view & install updates before installing SP3 i chose that,then installed the updates then run the updater again then installed SP3 which installed fine after that ( this was done after downloading BC 2.1 first)

Hi,

I've just downloaded the 'combo' and installed it like any other update... no problems, no tricks... without installing BC 2.1.
