ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Windows XP below SP3 level is no longer supported, and will no longer get updates. You really should upgrade to SP3! However, when you say "1.5 hard drive", do you mean you have only 1.5GB free space left on your HD? If this is the case, then you have indeed a problem. Try some serious cleaning of your main partition:do a full backup of your main partition to some external driveuninstall any programs that you no longer usedelete any documents/pictures/videos/music files that you no longer neeedrun CCleaner with all possible optionsrun the Windows Disk Cleanup ToolThere are probably a number of additional things you can try to get more free space; I'm sure other forum members will post the ones I forgotten. Let us know how much free space you have after this initial cleanup. (I recommend you run the defragger after the cleanup.) P.S. the minimum free disk space to install SP3 is 900MB.
