Hello,
I receive an error stating I do not have enough drive space available on
c:\windows\$NTServicePackUninstall..$ and that it needs 4 Meg of space. I do
not see this folder when browsing (with view hidden and system files) and I
have over a 100Gig of drive space available. This is a fresh install on boot
camp. I have been successful installing on a Mac with Parallels.
Thanks,
Jeremey

0x8007f0cc - STATUS_KERNEL_NONSTD
The core system file (kernel) used to start this computer is not a Microsoft
Windows file.
The Service Pack will not be installed.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/327101
Error message: Windows has detected that one or more protected core system
files (kernel)
on your computer have been modified

or

Error Code:8007F0CC happens if you have changed your "boot.ini" file.

Have you created a custom boot screen, or have you used software such as
Style XP to alter
your boot screen?

If you are using Style XP upgrade to the latest version. If you altered the
"boot.ini"
file yourself and made a custom boot screen, just replace "boot.ini" with
the backup you
made before editing it.

STANDARD REGISTRY DISCLAIMER
This post contains information on how to edit and modify your Windows
Registry. Backup your Registry before trying this because any improper
editing can cause strange behaviour and at worst could even corrupt your
operating system completely, requiring you to re-install Windows.
----------

I had a similar issue. This post helped me fix it:
http://www.windowsreference.com/general/error-there-is-not-enough-disk-space-when-installing-sp3/

The solution involves creating a string registry key in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

Call the key "BootDir" and give it the value "C:\" (both without quotes).

Once this is done, try to install SP3.

If you'd like more info about why this works, read the referenced post.

Hope that helps.

Maybe you've solved this by now, but just in case, and for others to know...

The trouble is your Apple Boot Camp drivers. You're probably using the 1.4
or earlier. If you update to OS 10.5 and install the latest Boot Camp (now
2.1) driver set over in the Windows OS then the drive will be seen properly.
The 4 MB is the exact message you get regardless of the actual free disk
space.

Technically speaking the MacOS doesn't need to be updated to 10.5 just to
solve this, but you need to use your 10.5 disk in order to update the Boot
Camp drivers beyond Apple's beta set.

Hope this helps.
