Laptop upgrade Vista has insufficient system space processing

  

With many laptop users, there was an error message about insufficient disk space during the installation of Windows Vista, and the installation process was interrupted. Sometimes even if you have enough space for the system installation, why do you get an error message about insufficient disk space? How to eliminate it? Let's take a look at how experts explain why there is not enough system space to upgrade Vista.

Many users install Windows Vista on the basis of the original operating system to form the WindowsVista+Windows XP dual operating system. Therefore, before installing Windows Vista, users usually prepare a space of more than 10 GB for WindowVista, but often ignore the C disk space (that is, the partition where the dual system Windows XP is located). However, the lack of space on the C disk can also cause the installation to fail. An error message appears during installation. In the current version of Windows Vista, the target installation partition is generally required to have more than 8 GB of space. At the same time, there should be about 2GB of free space in the C partition as a temporary folder for the installation files. If the C partition has only about 400 MB of space, then an error will be reported at the beginning of the installation, and the "Free space available on the system partition" will appear. If the C partition has only about 700 MB of space, then there will be no errors at the beginning of the installation. During the installation process, the temporary file will be created without too much disk space, and an error will occur. "Setup was unable to locate." a locally attached hard drive suitable for holding temporary Setup files.” The above two troubleshooting methods are also very simple, enter the Windows XP operating system, clean up system garbage, uninstall unused programs, prepare enough disk space for Windows Vista . If the C drive space is set too small during the initial partition, you can use the lossless partition software to add space to the C drive. Normally, the remaining space of the C drive must be 2GB or more to ensure smooth installation. However, considering the fast and stable operation of the dual system in the future, it is recommended that the remaining space of the C drive be at least 3 GB.
