[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1199171, member: 190607"] I should tell you that that might help, and it might not. You see, when you offload 20GB of data, you still might not free up a large chunk of contiguous space. It's worth trying, though. The more data you can offload the better. You could also backup and restore the data on your hard drive, which would defragment the drive and solve all of your problems. You can free up an extra 1GB of free space by using: Monolingual (free) [url=http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/]Monolingual[/url] ...to get rid of any languages that you don't speak. DO NOT use Monolingual for anything else. (Some users have run into problems using Monolingual to delete PowerPC code.) ___________________________________________ Randy B.
