Default "out of disk space" notice

Greetings,

I'm trying to save some files back and forth between
partitioned drives e: and h: Both e: and h: have about
150MB of free space, yet when I try to move files, I get the
out of space message and the operation stops.

I think there is a setting somewhere that I can change to
all more data being stored, but can't remember what it is.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Fred

PS - I forgot to say.... I can copy the files OK and get
down to nearly "0" free space, but when "MOV"ing them,
that's when the errror pops up.

Please post the *exact* language of the error message.

FWIW, I seldom Move files between partitions. Instead, I drag and drop them
(the default is Copy, not Move) and then when I'm certain that the Copy went
well, I delete the old files. This is particularly important when moving
large amounts of files. No, it's not the answer to your error issue, but
until you find that, Copy and then Delete.

"You have run out of disk space on drive H.
To free space on this drive by deleing old or unnecessary
files, click Disk Cleanup."

Yes, that is what I do also, but sometimes I need to MOVE
files and not copy/check/delete.

Can't imagine a case where Moving is required and Copy/Delete wouldn't work
just as well. Other than a matter of convenience, when does this become a
"need"?

Anyway, I assume that this error occurs every time you try to Move files
between partitions, regardless of size or number of files being Moved?

Have you run Scandisk on all drives? If Free Space reporting is wrong, you
might get this error. I can't think that Win98 has any disk quota management
in it. I've never seen any. That's what you meant in your first post, right?

I don't recognize this as a known problem, but I'd probably run IE Repair on
GP (IE and Explorer are inextricably linked) to see if perhaps there's a
mis-matched DLL or bad setting.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Don't you have by chance Norton Utilities, or Norton Internet Security
installed? Namely -- the part of them, Norton Protected Bin?
