Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Setup / August 2005"out of disk space" notice
Greetings, I'm trying to save some files back and forth between partitioned drives e: and h: Both e: and h: have about 150MB of free space, yet when I try to move files, I get the out of space message and the operation stops. I think there is a setting somewhere that I can change to all more data being stored, but can't remember what it is. Any help is greatly appreciated. Fred PS - I forgot to say.... I can copy the files OK and get down to nearly "0" free space, but when "MOV"ing them, that's when the errror pops up. > Greetings, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Fred Please post the *exact* language of the error message. FWIW, I seldom Move files between partitions. Instead, I drag and drop them (the default is Copy, not Move) and then when I'm certain that the Copy went well, I delete the old files. This is particularly important when moving large amounts of files. No, it's not the answer to your error issue, but until you find that, Copy and then Delete.  SignatureGary S.

Yes, that is what I do also, but sometimes I need to MOVE files and not copy/check/delete. > > Greetings, > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > > > Fred >> Please post the *exact* language of the error message. > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Yes, that is what I do also, but sometimes I need to MOVE > files and not copy/check/delete. Can't imagine a case where Moving is required and Copy/Delete wouldn't work just as well. Other than a matter of convenience, when does this become a "need"? Anyway, I assume that this error occurs every time you try to Move files between partitions, regardless of size or number of files being Moved? Have you run Scandisk on all drives? If Free Space reporting is wrong, you might get this error. I can't think that Win98 has any disk quota management in it. I've never seen any. That's what you meant in your first post, right? I don't recognize this as a known problem, but I'd probably run IE Repair on GP (IE and Explorer are inextricably linked) to see if perhaps there's a mis-matched DLL or bad setting. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. SignatureGary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User Don't you have by chance Norton Utilities, or Norton Internet Security installed? Namely -- the part of them, Norton Protected Bin? -- Mikhail Zhilin MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) http://www.aha.ru/~mwz Sorry, no technical support by e-mail.
