SUMMARY
=======

When you install or upgrade Windows NT 4.0, an error message is received:

  Setup was unable to save registry data.default to the
  <drive_letter>:\%system_root%\Profiles\Default user\ntuser.dat because
  of the following error: RegSaveKey returned error 112.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The RegSaveKey function saves the given key, and all of its subkeys and values,
to a new file. If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS;
otherwise, it is an error value. In this case, error 112 represents
Error_Disk_Full.


RESOLUTION
==========

There is not enough room on the current disk drive to hold Windows NT 4.0. More
drive space needs to be made available on the current drive, or the installation
needs to be moved to a larger drive or partition.
