The media creation tool has to download Windows first before it puts it on the USB stick. If your C:\ drive full or near full?

Is it giving this message to you when you plug it in to the computer you want to do this on? if so that means the drive your are trying to install to is full and needs wiped.

If its saying this on your computer you are out of storage for it to create the files it needs (Most likely)
