I’ve been working with Photoshop for about 6 years, and have never faced the problem I am now dealing with. I have a 20gig/20gig partitioned HD, with only 512Mb RAM, but otherwise very able computer. My first scratch disk has always been set to the non-booting partition, and my second scratch disk set on my boot partition. Within the last week, my scratch disks have bugged out. It doesn’t matter how I set them now; Startup, C:, D:, any task I attempt to perform gives me the error that my scratch disks are full…which isn’t true because I have about 12gigs worth for memory between the two partitions. I have attempted the various combos for the First and Second scratch disks using the available drives. Nothing works, and this had rendered my new version of CS useless. Please help.

Could be a sign that your HDD is about to give up
