Dear forum readers,
I have a problem when trying to install:
Windows 8 Developer Preview with developer tools English, 64-bit (x64)
When using the DVD tool from Microsoft as explained in one of the tutorials in this forum,
I receive the following error message:
The disc does not have sufficient free space.
I use a 4.7GB DVD disc, and the size of the Windows 8 Developer Preview with tools English, 64-bit (x64) iso file
size is: 4.83 GB.
Of-course this is the source of my problem, and i need a way to fix it.
What i am doing currently, is downloading the Windows 8 Developer Preview without tools.
I have read some solutions, but they did not offer what i am looking for.
I need a way to install the complete version with developer tools, including:
64-bit Windows 8 Developer Preview
Windows SDK for Metro style apps
Microsoft Visual Studio 11 Express for Windows 8 Developer Preview
Microsoft Expression Blend 5 Developer Preview
28 Metro style apps including the BUILD Conference app
I only have a normal DVD drive, no USB stick of the required size, but I have a second hard-disk with sufficient space.
AND I have an external USB hard-disk with sufficient space.
Tried to install from local hard-disk in Windows 7 by using the setup.exe in the sources directory, gives me the following error:
To install Windows, make sure that the partition on your bootdisk has at least 1243 Megabytes (MB) of free space.
Error code 0x80070490
I think i will buy a USB stick with enough capacity, but if someone has a quick fix, it would be very welcome!
Best regards,
