Error when upgrading SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005

I am upgrading SQL Server from 2000 to 2005. While upgrading I have received the below mentioned error. Kindly review and advise me on this. By the way, I have sufficient disk space on my server.

"TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Setup

SQL Server Setup has encountered the following problem:

[Microsoft][SQL Native Client][SQL Server]Database 'msdb' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details.. To continue, correct the problem, and then run SQL Server Setup again."

I would start by checking the ntfs permissions on the physical database files to ensure that the account you are using to run the upgrade as well as the account that the SQL Server runs under to ensure that the both have full control to the database files.
