Steam: Disk Write Error

Go to solution Solved by flibberdipper,

I restarted my computer, opened Steam and it worked for me when I had this issue.

Sorry if this is the wrong location, if it is could some staff member move it thanks :)

So, i've tried installing DayZ for few hrs already without no luck and trying multiple different things to fix it, deleting some files, reinstalling steam etc, but i just can't seem to install DayZ on my D: drive for some reason, i can install other games on the drive but for some reason i can't install DayZ on it..
Inside the content_log file it says
Failed to preallocate file "D:\Steam\steamapps\downloading\221100\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2013\vcredist_x64.exe" (7194312 bytes) (Not enough disk space)
 AppID 221100 update changed : Running,Preallocating,Stopping,
 AppID 221100 update changed : Running,Stopping,
 AppID 221100 update changed : None
 AppID 221100 state changed : Uninstalled, (Not enough disk space)
 Uninstalled app 221100 (Not enough disk space)
 AppID 221100 scheduler finished : removed from schedule
 
I have no idea why it says "Not enough disk space" since i obviously have room on it as i can install other games on it and my compter shows i have 180gb free space..
