[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1200867, member: 190607"] I guess that you didn't believe me when I told you that your hard drive is more or less full because it no longer had any large chunks of free contiguous space for your system to work with. (You could instantly prove it to yourself by running the free demo version of iDefrag, which will graphically show where everything is on your hard drive.) Please let us know what the shop suggests. I'd be willing to bet heavily that in the end they will recommend that you purchase a new hard drive. (Though they may give you a different explanation for why you need one than the one that I gave you. The techs there may not really understand what is going on themselves.) ___________________________________________ Randy B.
