Using Win98SE. When trying to copy a 1MB file from h: to e:, I get an
"insufficient disk space" message. There is 350MB free on e: and 250MB

free
on h: In case it matters, c: has 130MB free; all programs run on drive

c:
The SWP file and all internet temp memory hog files, etc., are located on
drive c:

I'm thinking there must be space reserved on e: by some program but that's
about as far as I can get. This must be either easy to fix or an unusual
problem - a usenet search didn't turn up anything.

Thanks in advance, guys!
