Hi - I am trying to create a Standalone Media for a Windows 7 x64 image. I loaded the SCCM 2012 Console on a Windows 7 machine and was using a 32 GB USB drive. After running for a couple of hours I received the error "There is not enough space on the disk"

Error: Task sequence media information

Media type: Removable USB drive

Removable USB drive: D:\

Allow unattended operating system deployment: No

Protect media with password: No

Task sequence: ING000AB-1- Windows 7 Pro 64bit

Prestart command: No

Distribution point(s): xxx-xxx-xxx.COM

Total size of media content, MB:  7349

Errors

Media creation failed with error message: 'There is not enough space on the disk.'Refer to CreateTsMedia.log file to find more details.

The USB stick has 30 GB available and the C: drive of the machine has 200 GB available

The CreateTS.log file has the following errors

This error seems to be different than the issue of the WIM being to large

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance

How much content is there in your task sequence overall? Are there driver packages? Take a look at the console, select your task sequence (the one you're going to be using for standalone media) and from the bottom, select References -tab, that should show how much space each referenced package in the sequence will take...

Hello

Check your which drive system was writing temp files and check the storage space in that drive 
Hope that helps.

That was it. I had 2 large driver packs that pushed it past 32 GB. I removed 1 and it completed successfully.

Thanks !!

Exactly what happened to me.  The system drive where my temp location is did not have enough disk space for it to process the media creation.
