If you haven't formatted or partitioned the disk since (I believe) 6.0.2,
then there isn't enough space for the newer driver.  I ran into this when
I started using 6.0.4 (?).  The only solution is to backup the hard disk
and repartition (at least -- it's better to just go ahead and reformat the
disk - just in case blocks are starting to fail).
