Consult the Visual C++ documentation for that error, it mentions other  
possible causes apart from a full disk, for example it says maybe you  
have a bad block and you should check for this by running a disk  
verification utility.

Googling on that message I also come across reports of earlier  
versions of Visual C++ which generated that error because of a bug, in  
that case the problem was fixed by a service pack.  I don't see that  
for VC++ 2008 but still not a bad idea to make sure you have installed  
any available service packs.

Do you have another machine available?
