not enought disk space??

Post by Mickey Lawson »

If anyone can help. I have "Personal Ear Trainer" on two of my computers. (They downloaded in about 15 sec.) I want to put it on, one in the living-room. The hard drive is a western digital 112-gb., with 108-gb free, that I put on an older computer (pentium III). The drive has always worked good. But, the computer says not enough disk space when I try to load the CD on the computer. The cd is 3.2-meg. Tried it at least 10-times, any suggestions? Thanks.

What operating system is on that computer, Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP?

And just out of curiosity, how much RAM?<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Jim Phelps on 10 February 2005 at 04:55 PM.]</p></FONT>

It might be trying to expand the installation on the current drive, which is your CD. Try copying the installation program to your hard drive and try again.

Jim:
I thought that it might be trying to do that. Couldn't understand why, and when I checked properties of the cd-drive it showed full, with no space available.

Thanks, thanks, I found p.e.t on the E-drive, sent it to my documents (only choice on C-drive it gave me). Then found it on C, and it downloaded. Works great. Thanks Jim.
