I keep getting a “Disk Full” message even though there’s plenty of space…

Thursday, May 21, 2009 / Software

My hard disk has over 120 gig of space, but I get a disk full message. Just started and I can’t figure out why. I have already checked my Word file locations. Still no clue as to why.

Thanks,
Perry

This is erroneous disk full message has occurred for a few Word users. It is basically attributed to a Disk Permissions problem. If you boot your used Mac off the OS X install DVD that came with the computer, you can use Disk Utility from the Utilities menu to repair Disk Permissions on your hard drive. After that Word saving abilities should be fixed, at least according to others that have experienced the same Disk is Full errors you received.

Hope this helps
Jacob
