Not enough disk space to install flash player 10 problem

If your computer doesn’t have a C: drive, flash player 10 installer for firefox won’t be able to run properly. It keeps giving not enough disk space error. After Googling for a while, I found the solution in Yahoo answers.

If you don’t have a C-drive, then you can also share a folder or your root drive and then add this folder as a network drive and assign the letter C to it. after the installation you can disconnect the share again and disable sharing. Worked for me. -Yahoo! Answers

* The method that uses a USB drive didn’t work for me. My system drive is named as “W”, stands for Windows. I’m weird, I know.

It’s such a low level bug and it’s really unaccetable. I’ve installed tons of stuff in my computer and had never encounter this kind of problem before.

    I had this same problem! Thanks. This happened because I also have linux (woohoo!) installed, and windows took drive F.

    Drive F means F*** off (Windows)?
