Error msg on my iMac with update 10.5.5

[hellboy87]

I get an error message with when i tried updating my iMac to the latest firmware update 10.5.5. It something to with the hard drive. I am not sure if its the space as i have got 35Gb left.

Spec for my mac:
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2Gb ram
320 HDD
20" screen

Once i couldn't get the software updated through the apple software update i tried to do it manually, but no luck their either. Would really appreciate you anyone could help me through this.

Thank You!

Have attached a the snapshot of the error msg when i install manually.

PS: would appreciate if you could send the reply to mystryguy_18@yahoo.com

A few things:

1. I don't mean to sound negative, but 10.5.5 is not a "firmware" update - it is a fairly big software update.

2. Looks like you are trying to apple Security Update 2008-006 (Intel), which is for 10.4.11 on a 10.5.x system. (See bottom of page at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate2008006clientintel.html for system requirements).

3. 35 GB left on a 320 GB drive is somewhat pushing it, so consider archiving some data and free up more space. I'd suggest about 25% free space (but this may not be the problem).

4. 10.5.5 combo update is here --> http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1055comboupdate.html

^^^ Go with the combo update and you should be fine.
