Default Second instance creation tiny wittle problem?

When creating a second named instance, on the Setup Type window I have
a problem with the system drive space available.

In the Setup Type window...

- Select Typical.
- Leave Program Files to the C drive.
- Leave Data File to the C drive.

I hit Next to continue but then receive a warning that there is not
enough disk space on the system disk.

I go back and examine the available space and discover that the system
disk space only has 77K available?? Yet the program files and data
files disk, have 3 gigs of free space!!!

I repoint Program Files and Data Files to another disk. I noticed
there numbers changed in the summary. But the numbers for system disk
space have not changed.

I know the C disk has 3 gigs of free space, but yet the system disk
available always states that there is only 77K available!!! What
gives??? I checked the other disks on the server and they all have
plenty of disk space. Very confusing....
