I'm operating a MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.6. I removed a Windows partition that I had been operating smoothly for 1.5 years in order to reinstall. I can reinstall Windows fine and update the Boot Camp files using my Leopard disc. However, whenever I try to update Windows with SP3 while running Windows XP, I get the following message :
CWINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$ Setup requires minimum of 4 additional MB of free space or if you want to archive for uninstallation 4 additional MB of free space.
I have tried to update using the "Express Install" option for Windows update. I have used a copy of XP SP3 that I downloaded from my earlier successful installation of Boot Camp and Windows (though I did install it under OS 10.4.x).
I even went so far as to uninstall Boot Camp again and reinstall everything anew. I get the same message from the "Express Install" option. I also downloaded SP3 as a separate file and tried several times to install it. I always get the same message. The message is ridiculous since I have 26 GB of available space in the Boot Camp partition.
Any thoughts?
