I am running OS 9.2.2 on a G4 Tower. Best Mac I have ever owned. I have about a GB of RAM. Somehow my files have overtaken me.
I have 2 harddrives, one 40GB and one 80GB both internal (the 80 GB was partitioned in half to 40 & 40) On my main partition I had used up about 35GB of space with less than 4 GB free space.
Yesterday things started to slow down. PageMaker 7.0 started up real slow (usually opens in a flash) Accessing folders on that main partition is slow. Copying files is slow. I am slowly moving files off of the hard drive at this time.
I have tried to run Norton Utilities but it just sits there.
I did a rebuild on all 3 drives which seemed to work. I have also run Disk First Aid sucessfully.
Any ideas on what's going on and/or how to get back up to speed?
I am going to try to remove 10GB from the main partition and in the process of doing that now. (The other 2 drives are working fine) Sherlock is also running very slow when I do a search on that main drive only (which is partition 1 of 2)
Your thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks
