I have attempted to reinstall ME on my hd, Western Digital 120 gig. When ME is installed the amount of space on the C drive shows 2 gig. I just purchased the XP SP2 upgrade and I can not load that with the limited space.

Any help would be great!!

Hi there,

You should be able to delete the partition when you start the upgrade. You can boot the Upgrade CD and it should run through like a full install disk. When it gets to the part where you choose where to install delete the partitions and create the partitions you want and install the Upgrade. At some point in the install It should ask for a Windows CD that you are upgrading. Put your ME cd in the tray and let it read it and it should then proceed to finish the install.
