Welcome to the forum.
You have tacked onto an eleven year old thread, last used seven years ago, with little information about what your challenge or question is. Perhaps a Mod will come along and move this to a new thread. In any case, a bit more information about what you are trying to do and what you are seeing would be helpful. What version of the OS, what are you trying to do, how large is the internal drive, how much space is available, etc, would be useful.
