well i switched the pagefile (switched it of on C drive and enabled it in one of other partitions with more than enough space left. computer restarted and C had a comfortable 1.4GB free space. but not more than a few seconds because MS automatic updates started up again downloading the SP3 update.
it upsets me the way these work. why can't they first ask you what you want and then start to download. because a week or so i downloaded the CD version of this update to update my wifes computer.
anyway the free space started to slowly dissapear. untill it came down to about 850 MB free. then install started and eventhough the SOB said it is performing cleanup in the end when the computer restarted the disk had only 200 MB free space left. can you believe this?
now i moved that uninstall data (like many others) to backup disk. today i think i will move the softwaredistribution folder.
but i am still puzzled where all the space went. i checked and it seems that i already have system restore points also on another partition. i mean surely the update didn't take up 1.2Gb of space. at leats it shouldnt' according to M$. :wallbash:
