I’m doing a windows 7 and Vista dual boot boot project on a Lenovo G575, but whenever I try installing vista it always does this error once it enters full screen “This computer does not have enough space for temporary files. Windows installation needs atleast 440 megabytes of space on any partition for temporary files. To install Windows, free enough space and restart the installation

Error code 0x80070103” I have 19 gigs on the partition

    You should obtain your Driver Software from your Computer or Hardware Manufacturer, not through Windows Update (except for Microsoft Hardware Updates), as Microsoft normally does nor have those latest Drivers available as Microsoft relies on the 3rd Party Hardware Manufacturer to supply them.

    Go to your Computer or Hardware Manufacture's website > Driver and Software Support Section > look up your Computer or Hardware Model number > then your Operating System > locate the correct Drivers > download and install them.

    1. Did you buy Vista as it does not come fore free?
    2. Does Lenovo support Vista and supply Windows Vista drivers for that exact model number?
    3. https://kb.iu.edu/d/auhq

    Vista Capable minimum hardware requirements are as follows:

    • A modern processor (at least 800 MHz)
    • 512 MB of system memory.
    • A graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable.
    • 20 GB of hard drive capacity with 15 GB free space.
    • CD-ROM drive.

    I own a disk of Windows Vista Ultimate, I’m not sure if that model does support vista, but it should be possible to get it to install ( it exceeds minimum requirements )
