Can you be more specific? What's the problem? You've provided no details - OS version, content, error messages, etc.

Bigger hard drive or format and start all over again. Make sure you backup first.
Error message
When I reboot my computer this is the message over a blue screen: "Your Starup disk is full. You need to make more space available on your startup disk by deleting files."
Then I pressed Ok, and nothing happened. I'm not able to get any menu, nothing at all.
Thank you a lot for your help.

Boot the computer from an OS install disk, OS install USB stick, or an external hard drive with an OS installed on it.

You can also see if it will boot into Safe Mode.
Press the power button - as soon as you hear the chime, press the shift key and hold it until you see the Apple on screen - it can take a couple of minutes to boot.

Thank you
Done, and it works! Thank you! So, simple. Now I have to make space in my disc. I bought a Seagate Backup Plus for MAC and I wanna put all the content of iMovie on it, but in the best possible format in order to be able to edit in a good quality. I wanna put there ipicture too, and all my music from iTunes. Any suggestion?

My oh my and here be me thinking you guys used English. From Wikipedia for instance lol:-
Unless we’re missing something, U.K., Irish, Australian, and New Zealand writers make no distinction between spelled and spelt. Don’t bother trying to find any difference between the words in these examples, which we have chosen more or less at random, because there is none.
