System Partition Is Almost Full

Windows NT requires several special files to be placed in the root directory of your computer's system partition. This partition -- also called the boot drive -- is usually drive C, unless you changed the drive-letter mapping for the partitions.

This warning indicates that Windows NT Setup cannot find sufficient space on this drive to install these special files.

You can ignore this warning if you will be repartitioning the boot drive during the upgrade process. You can also ignore this warning if the drive labeled as C: is not really your system partition.
