Issue Checklist
  • I checked for duplicate issues.

Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

Loading an ISO with insufficient disk space available for extraction begins the extraction process but then fails with error message "Error: Image file not found in extraction folder". MicroWin is left on Step 2 with nothing in the image selection window.

Steps to reproduce the issue.

Start process with insufficient space for extraction. I had ~4GB free when trying to extract a Win 11 ISO.

Paste the full error output (if available).

"Error: Image file not found in extraction folder"

Research direction

Start by reproducing the extraction flow with about 4GB of free space and a Windows 11 ISO, then trace how insufficient space becomes the "Image file not found in extraction folder" error. Done means the process reports insufficient disk space before or during extraction and does not leave MicroWin stuck on Step 2 with an empty image selection window.
