[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1742505, member: 56379"] This is what happens when a computers internal storage is allowed to be totally utilized. Just like not letting an automobiles gas tank get completely empty...a computer's internal storage should not be allowed to get 100% full. What you probably need to do is boot the computer from an external drive with the Mac OS installed on it...so you have access to the computers internal (full drive)...to delete some files from it (creating some free space)...so the computer can once again be booted from the internal drive. By the way. What you tried by booting into the Recovery Partition...launching Disk Utility...and erasing the drive. Would result in a 100% loss of any data on the internal drive. Is or was this the desired outcome?? Generally speaking...users with a full 1 terabyte drive have at least some information/files that they do not want to lose. - Nick [/QUOTE]
