cannot find a physical hard drive with enough space to hold the temporary instal files
[gives list of all drives cd and hard drives]
I recently got it to work but there wasnt enough space, supposidly, to hold the backup of original OS so i quit install in hopes of making space by cleaning up and uninstalling some programs. then im back to error message :(
