There may be a further problem: Windows doesn't like path names greater than 155 characters. I"ve found that installing JDKs and other Java components under C:\Program and Files can cause you to go over this limit. That plus the space issue can cause all sorts of issues.
The best way to handle this is to work with projects on the root of the drive and to install JDKs on the root of the drive.
