Normally I'd be a smart a55 and tell you to get a bigger hard drive, but this time I'll suggest something else.:rotfl: (but you really should get a bigger drive, or, better yet, another large hard drive)

If you have a DVD burner, you could burn the zipped files you downloaded to DVDs (make sure and use a burning program that will verify the accuracy of the data on the DVD after burning, such as Nero) and then delete the zipped files from your hard drive, then unzip them onto your hard drive from the DVDs. You could accomplish the same thing if you have another computer on your network with some free hard drive space. Basically, anything you can do to get the zipped files off of your crammed hard drive and then unzip them back to your system will help. You may find that you still don't have enough room, though.

You might, also, want to take the opportunity to clean up your hard drive and defrag it (after you get the zipped files off of it).

If all you have is the 120GB, then I echo DT's suggestion of getting a second drive if at all possible. Modern software, and games especially, will eat that up in nothing flat! I have a 160GB that came with my computer, and got a 500GB for Christmas that I use just for games. At the moment both are about half full.

If you can't get a second or bigger drive, but manage to make enough space for the NBC mod, DO NOT use JSGME to install it!! JSGME copies the files from it's Mods folder to the destination, thus requiring at least double the drive space. You can either extract the KPO folder directly in the Radio folder if your program does that, or extract everything to a temp folder and just "move" the KPO folder.

I am sorry for your problems. The NBC station is so large because they had the overwhemlingly vast majority of the most popular programs from that era. And as I mention earlier in this thread, I couldn't decide what to leave out.

And now for what could be either good news, or bad news, depending upon your POV: I'm planning at least one, maybe two more add-ons for the NBC station. Thus asking for even more hard drive space, should you choose to use it.

Right now I'm working on a CBS add-on, then I have to do a KGMB version. So it'll be a couple of weeks before I start the NBC one. So consider yourselves warned!!

Thanks for the help,as soon as i can get some money together,im gonna buy another hard drive,or better yet i need to build another machine,with all the bells and whistles,dual core SLI etc....I was able to take call of duty 2 off my hard drive to make some space,and did some defragging to make room for the time being.Once i unzip the first nbc file, I dont have to unzip the rest{Right} because when i try too it wants me to overwrite.

Correct. Just pick one part. And it can be any of them.
