I have a BCM 3.6 I am trying to load a patch on that gives me the error of " Insufficient Hard Drive Space on Drive E:" How do I free up drive space to load the patches needed...

I checked and there are a lot of log files... what files could be erased and how can i dou this... I just dont want to destroy anything about the file system...

Detailed instruction would be great!

cheers,

Anything in e:\ftproot can be deleted. Anything in e:\nortel networks\archlog folder can be deleted as well. Stuff in the e:\nortel networks\logs folder should be treated with a bit more caution.

I've only seen this happen a couple times, and it's always been the ftproot folder that held the majority of the files.
 
As biv343 mentionned, you need to delete those files either by telnet or thru hyperterminal direct to the bcm then goto command line, then to the proper partition, then delete (good old dos command prompts...)
 
I think the OS patch was to free up space in the f: drive.
That was a 3.7 patch as I recall.
You will have to free up space by deleting files.
Try going to your d: drive & delete any CDR files that you
see on that drive.
