I get to 92% installation and it gives me an error message: Disk Full!

My disk is not full, I've got 16G of free disk space. And yes, I've tried installing without anti-virus running to no avail.

Anyone else have this problem?

You're installing from disk, I presume?

Well, you've got most of the content then. I'd just run -image and you'll be ready to go. Guild Wars can simply download any content you don't have (if you don't mind the occasional download in-game, you don't even have to do that. The only thing you REALLY need from the box is the Key.

What file format are you using, FAT32 or NTFS! Under FAT32 you'll run into problems due to the gw.dat's filesize.

GW.dat is still under FAT32's 4GB limit.

It's FAT32. I just checked gw.dat and it's 4.2GB. I did a defrag of this file and it reduced the size down to 3.1GB. Then tried another install and failed again, checked the file and it was back up to 4.2GB.

Any suggestions on what to do now?

I think I solved it. Converted my file system to NTFS and it worked.

Note to other people that have all campaigns: You need to convert to NTFS because your gw.dat file gets bigger than FAT32 can handle.

Thanks a lot for the help guys.
