Windows SP3 on macbook with bootcamp


Looks like the SP3 update wasn’t tested on MacBook’s. I had a few excrutiating attempts to install and always being told I was 4MB short despite having 20GB free.

There is not enough disk space on C:\WINDOWS\$NtServicePackUninstall$ to install Service Pack 3 Setup requires an additional 4 megabytes of free space or if you also want to archive the files for uninstallation,Setup requires 4 additional megabytes of free space. Free additional space on your hard disk and then try again. 

Thankfully I found a helpful guide at windowsreference.com which is an easy registry hack and seemed to do the business with no problems.

This site makes you realise how poor the news is really with all this going on and all we ever hear about is Amy Wino-house and the spice girls reunion. I didn’t hear at all about police hunting a man after a home-made bomb was found at his house in Cumbria - check it out here
