| 1286288 | 2012-07-05 20:44:00 | Hi all Copying a bunch of MP3's (6GB) from one drive to another (1TB with 193G free) and getting a not enough disk space error. All drives NTFS - plenty of space on the drive - google brings up a lot of answers about file size with FAT drives, not relevant here. Screenshot attached. Any suggestions? Thanks. |

| 1286289 | 2012-07-05 21:33:00 | Strange. Might be a good idea to chkdsk this volume in case of errors. | linw (53) | ||
| 1286290 | 2012-07-05 22:56:00 | Try overwriting the hds free space with a disk cleanup tool. i think ccleaner has one. | stratex5 (16685) | ||
| 1286291 | 2012-07-06 01:11:00 | Strange. Might be a good idea to chkdsk this volume in case of errors. Could be that, or some weird permissions issue that's manifesting as a bogus out-of-space error |

| 1286292 | 2012-07-06 02:41:00 | Choose properties for the drive and click on the quota tab to see if that has been enabled? | Webbnzl (8810) | ||
| 1286293 | 2012-07-06 08:24:00 | Empty your recycle bin... if there's about 190GB of files in there. | Paul.Cov (425) | ||
| 1286294 | 2012-07-07 00:24:00 | And check what your swap/page file has been set to on that drive, usually 10%. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 1286295 | 2012-07-08 00:58:00 | Thanks for all your suggestions. I ended up transferring to another drive - had tried all the tips suggested except #5 and #7 before chucking it onto another drive. Thanks all - was the first time I had come across that! |
