Will I lose all of my files with upgrade?

Ok, under C:\users and on my user name it says it is 46.6 GB. Is it possible I don't have enough room on my hardrive for the installation?

yeah thats most likely it.....
since you said that it was in the end of the install...(where it moves/copies/replaces files)
and you have less than 50% free space....
and your userprofile is using more than double the free space....

Shoot...so do I not have enough room on my hardrive or just not enough room in my User account? I could just uninstall a few programs and some unused media to free up space. How much space you think I should try freeing up?

move some files away from your user account to another folder...
and unnistall some programs...
try to make as lean as possible

Thats what i am doing. I am even running CCleaner as we speak. After this I am trying the install one more time and if that doesn't work I am probably giving up, at least till the public beta is out. I will tell you how it works once I go through the installation once more!

Thanks for all the help btw darkassasin...u desreve the +Rep!

thx keep us posted....

Well that took forever, just as the last 2 times did, and once again the same problem at 31% on the last step. I think I'll call it a night and most likely just wait till the public beta. At least it gave me an excuse to clean up a ton of space on my HDD! lol, thx again darkassain!

Also, you have cleared out any system restore points, correct?

What would clearing out system restore points do? Would that screw me up if the installation didn't work again and it couldn't restore me back to my previous version of windows with all of my files intact?

Before my last attempt I cleared a large chunk of space on my HDD. I now have a total of 65.35 Gigs of space open, about 58% of my total hard drive free. I would assume this would be an adequate amount of space for the installation to copy everything, so I don't know what the deal is...

No, but it would save you a *lot* of HD space.

Typically, Windows uses about 12% of HD space for System Restores. In your case, that can be as much as 14 GB of space (12% times 120 GB). I would suggest that you manually create a restore point right now System Restore Point - Create , then clear out the old ones (using Disk Cleanup - System Protection Restore Points - Delete .

Of course, only do this if your system is running completely stable....
