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.
