Is your data backed up?
How big is your hard drive, and how full is it?
What do you presently have installed in terms of operating system?

Boot camp may be part of the problem. Since I don't use it, I'm just asking for the Mac partition, how big is that, and how full is that?

And again, are you backed up?

Oh yes. Always backup before you install anything:

And while you are at it, read this tip to ensure you are really ready for 10.7 and above:

This is a user to user forum, you aren't speaking to Apple here.
The direct download link is here:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-mavericks/
(The /US/ can be exchanged for the two letter code found when you visit this developer page if you are not in the United States)

The store technical support link is here:
