I tried to install a program (Battlefront) and got the following error during setup:

Error on setup:

Unhandled Exception

Error Number:0x80040707

Description:DLL function call

Setup will now terminate.

The system requirements text reads as follows:

Short and sweet it appears Recovery Drive D does not have enough "harddrive capacity" available for the installation.

Would a complete format of the Recovery Drive D fix this problem, or is the issue of the error and/or Format more complex than that?

if you don't have any info on drive d that you want to keep. if drive d is indeed a hard drive. do you know how big the hdd drive is? you can find out by opening explorer highlighting drive d and righclick. choose properties. on the new window that pops will be pie chart that shows you how much space is available and how much is used/free.

The drive is around 5 GB. Only 600 MB are free on the D drive. On standard HP computers (Win XP) it seems to come with a C drive for the regular stuff, and a D drive as "Recovery Drive." The OS automatically backsup recovery points which I doubt are needed, at least in the number they're being saved in. My guess is the program wants to backup the OS before installing Battlefront. Thus I need to clear space on the disk (although I'm actually installing it on the C Drive, the D is recovery.)

So yeah, really I just want to be sure that formatting the D drive won't mess with the OS or the C drive or other programs that normally would work.

It's the same on this computer (different comp) as far as the way the drives are setup. (D recovery C regular Harddrive.) Since I've never done it before, I want to be sure it won't screw anything up if I hit the "format" button on the D drive (Which is called "recovery" or some such name.

So if it just clears D and doesn't affect the other applications, the OS, or the C drive, then it should fix the problem, I just wanted to run all this by you.

you won't be able to reimage/reload your system if you wipe the d drive. you can go into system restore though and remove all the old restore points. right click on the "my computer" icon. choose properties. click on the system restore tab. Toward the bottom you wil see a list of hard drives. just highlight one, click settings. just change it to a smaller percentage.

[Elvenwarrior2001]

Reducing the percentage just appears to alter the ammount of un-used harddrive from say 600MB to 300MB. It doesn't seem to actually remove andthing from the drive. (It says it's just as full.) If that's all it does it doens't help much since I need about 2000MB instead of the 600MB that is free, or the 300 I now alloted for it. Under the "System Check" by Lucas Arts one of the "requirements," the only one that didn't pass, was about 2000 MB on the Recovery drive. Since I don't have that much free it won't install.

Am I missing something? Because changing the percentage doesn't seem to actually change the amount data on the disk.

[Elvenwarrior2001]

One more quick thing too. There seems to be an option to "make recovery disks." If I did this would I be able to format the D drive, or would you not reccommend doing that at all? Because changing the percentage didn't seem to clear up hard drive space on the recovery Drive.

I would upgrade the hdd drive or rather install an additional hdd and install the game to it.

You can also turn off your system restore, reboot the pc and turn system restore back on. that will wipe out all previous restore points.

no I wouldn't do anything with d drive. that is where the restore disks will pull the info from to rebuild c: drive.
normally its a hidden partion, not that it makes any difference.

What I don't understand is, I have plenty, and mean PLENTY of harddrive space on my C drive (sevaeral Gigabytes), which is the one I'm installing it to. But for some reason it also wants some space on the Parition Disk for no apparent reason. I can only guess the game automatically backs up part of the system before installing.

You can also turn off your system restore, reboot the pc and turn system restore back on. that will wipe out all previous restore points.

I did exactly as you said (turned off the system restore, rebooted, and then turned it back on), and for some reason it didn't change anything on the drive. The Partition Drive is still pretty much full. (600 MB free). I don't understand why it doesn't clear space since it's supposed to dump some of the last restore points.

Exactly what good would that do?
