XADM: Setup Does Not Work with Exceeded Drive Space Error Message (288841)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server

This article was previously published under Q288841

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to install Exchange 2000 in a drive other than the system drive (the system drive is the drive in which Microsoft Windows 2000 is installed), you may receive an error message that indicates that Setup did not work because of a lack of disk space. This error message is similar to the following:
Setup has detected that your component selections will exceed the available disk space on the following drives:

-Drive C: has 99 MB free and the selected components require 359 MB

Click OK to proceed or Cancel to remain on this page.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

Although the error message does not refer to the target drive and appears to be irrelevant, the error message actually refers to the amount of space that is necessary on the system drive.
