Less than 1G free on C$ might be a problem. Though, I see no mention of a running out of disk space error in your mail so maybe not.

Also, be sure the drive isn't compressed and that there is no BIOS live AV programs running or even OS level AV prog's running. Worst case scenario, if you have a spare HD try installing to it, if it works then you will need to back up your current data from you initial HD and reformat. HTH, Bacardi K.
