I have a Win7 machine that needs a repair install. When I try to
run it, it tells me there isn't enough space on drive J: (which is

complain about this partition, but I'm thinking perhaps it should
be hidden (the drive doesn't appear in My Computer). Any suggestions?
Well, hiding the partition doesn't work.
I just tried the following suggestion from one of MS's forums:
setup /tempdrive:c:
But no change. The computer is now complaining that the J: (system
partition) is almost full. I don't see this issue on any other Win7
machines, so something must be glitched on this one. Darned if I
can find out what so far, though.
Ok, finally I went into Diskpart, selected the partition and ran:
SET ID=27 OVERRIDE
And that fixed it.
