One assumes there's more free space on the D: drive, so Windows Update must
be attempting to download the installer to that drive instead of the C:
(boot) drive.
Yes, in this situation I would recommend that you manually uninstall IE8
Beta. Afterwards, download/install IE8 Final manually (instead of via
Windows Update).
Here are some references for you:

No-charge support for Internet Explorer 8 installation, set-up and usage
(only) is available via the phone based on your locale through 31 December
2009. Customers must be running Windows XP or Windows Vista in a non-domain
environment. US & CA Residents: 866-234-6020. Other:

Personal recommendations:
=> Uninstall all third-party toolbars (e.g., Google; Yahoo; Windows Live)
before installing IE8 Final.
=> I would strongly recommend disabling your anti-virus application and any
anti-spyware application's "system protections" (other than Defender's)
before installing (or uninstalling) an IE upgrade. If you're running a
third-party firewall, I would recommend disabling it and then enabling the
Windows Firewall before installing (or uninstalling) an IE upgrade.
=> For best chance of success with IE8, make certain that your anti-virus
application, any anti-spyware applications (other than Defender), and your
third-party firewall (if any) are supported in IE8 Final before you decide
install it.
=> Reboot twice after installing or uninstalling IE8.
