It's an error you get if your scratch disk is the same as your Windows disk. If you have your hard drive partitioned or have more than one physical drive, it's recommended to make Photoshop's scratch volume different than the Window's one...for example, if Window's is installed to the C: drive you should have Photoshop's scratch on a different drive or partition. I don't think it's that big of a deal if you only have one drive/partition...just an annoying error message! -
Don,
I recently added a second hard drive, and put the Photoshop scratch disk on it. There was an immediate difference in Photoshop speed, which I *think* is the result of putting the scratch disk on the second drive, but I can't be certain of this. That nasty message is now history also. Never really had a problem before, but it seems much faster, especially on large files now.

That message will appear anytime PS has to rebuild its prefs file. So, for those of us with only one drive, it's primary purpose is to notify that our prefs file got deleted or corrupted.Learn by teaching

I have been busy making montages lately. 150 Dpi is good for poster size and I have made one at 18x24" with 50+ shots and a 24x36" with 80 shots. This about maxed out my computer's memory. What confused me is the message that my scratch disk is full. I have 2 60 gig drives with 50 and 40...10-29-2004, 03:25 PM -
I am looking into getting a 2nd hard drive for my computer. I heard that it was best to put Windows Virtual memory and PS’s Scratch Disk on the 2nd hard drive. How do you have your 2nd hard drive set up?
Thanks.

After I installed the new 60 gig hard drive, the computer would only recognize 32 gigs. My son-in-law, who is quite good with computers, came over last night, and he found that I put a jumper on the hard drive that shouldn't have been there. After removing the jumper, the full 60 gigs showed up. Today,...10-02-2002, 05:08 PM

My 2.8 Quad core is in the mail. As I up grade the RAM over the next few months I'm curious as to your thoughts on the best possible hard drive configuration to get the best performance out of photoshop.
In terms of scratch disks and boot drives, should PS be installed on the boot drive or not?...10-22-2010, 05:43 PM
