Hello , im having a problem whit my hard drive:
I have a Maxtor 160gb partitioned in two 76 gb parts , one FAT32 and one NTFS
I have the FAT32 filled up whit 20gb (21%) of data and when i try to add 5gb
to it it says
"Cannot copy file *.* : There is not enought free disk space."
I cleaned the HD from the Windows Disk Cleanup and set the Restore space to 0%
There is not PF on that partition but there is a 5 gb PF on the other NTFS
partition
Windows XP is on a second HD whit 8gb free space our of 35 gb.
Could anyone help me ?
