    when i try tht the program installs on c, so it uses space on c and i dont have any more on it and and the main reason is i cant update it to windows sp2 cause theres not enough space

    In the program's settings set it to download to the D drive.

    Find the folder it was downloading to and cut/paste the files to your D drive.

    Think you need to format the hd and load a fresh copy of windows, redirecting your downloads to the bigger partition is easy but if you want to install sp2 then formatting is your only option(unless someone knows how to change a partition size?).
