look in the top horizontal tool bar, hit the Clear button (on chance you have crazy pixel dimensions set)…

Benjamin,

This has been discussed several times recently. Do a forum search on the key words in the title of your thread: scratch disk full. You’ll find many threads like yours, e,g,:

BTW, what OS and what version PS?

If OS 9 you need to assign the additional RAM to PS app before it will use it…

If it mounts as two separate volumes (two icons on your desktop), then it’s partitioned.
