"Microsoft Flight Simluator 2004 encountered a disk error while writing to the file D:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Sound\USEnglishBig.gvp. Make sure your hard disk is not full, and that file is not in use. "

Believe it or not I have exactly the same problem with just a little difference! The same error occcures when installation reaches 56% (CD 3). I thinks it says something like "...while writing to the file D:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\scenery\ (something I can't remember).
I don't know what they mean by saying the disk is full, but my hard disk certanly isn't because the only thing I had installed on my computer was FS2004.
I had ordered an FS2004 add-on from PCaviator which arrived over a month later. When I wanted to install it two days ago, an error message said something like "you don't have the appropriate FS2004" and I couldn't start the simulator at all.
I thought by de-installing the add-on the FS will work but it did not! So I tried to re-install the whole FS.
During the re-installation I got the error message you have as well, and since then I can't install my FS!
For how long have you had your FS? If you've had it for a year or more like I did, then prepare yourself for sleepless nights, because it's the most addictive thing I've ever tried.
If anybody has a solution for our problem please HELP!

Haven`t had it for so very long, but i try to install, and uinstall to try custom and those other install options, but always get the error message on CD2... 
i had the same problem. do your computers ever get any other error messages at random times (especially during times when you run programs that use alot of RAM)? my problem was that i had two bad RAM sticks. The problem is that flight sim tries to access your RAM in a different way than any other program and the RAM is bad so it cant. by storage it means that there is not enough RAM space.
Try loading it in safe mode.
I might just try all that but I doubt it would work, because I have installed the FS twice before without any problems.
