Scripted OS install reports out of disk space
Updated: 23 May 2010 | 2 comments
I have set up a slipstream install of Windows XP Pro with SP3 built in. When booting machines to automation to install this I am seeing an error from the windows xp installer saying "Setup cannot find a locally attached hard drive with enough space to hold the temporary setup files"
The local hard disk is listed in the machine and should be 150Gb, but it is only showing in the list as having 31Mb free.
Any ideas where it is going wrong - is it not finding the hard drive because it is NTFS?

Are you using a local copy of the boot image? If so the OS may be trying to use the boot agent install directory to store the files.
I have installed the Automation Partition to the machine to boot from as we are not using PXE boot, then I am trying to do a scripted OS install of Windows XP Pro. My thoughts so far are that due to the wizard for creating the scripted install only having a DOS (FAT16 or FAT32) option for erasing the hard disk, means that it can't see the NTFS partition on the main hard disk and therefore is trying to store the temp files on the Automation partition or the server share.
Would you like to reply?
