Pegasus,

Sorry I didn't quite get the joke the first time around
about the size of my OS drive.

A few final questions for you...
I just need to know if this game plan to correct my
mistake will work. Since my OS drive is too small (@
2.32Gig total size), and I have plenty of space on the
other partitions, is it possible to:

1. Delete everything off of one of the other
drives/partitions, we'll call this drive SAVINGMYBUTT.
2. Delete everything off of one of a second
drive/partition, we'll call this OS-TEMP.
3. Copy the entire OS drive to the OS-TEMP drive.
4. Reformat the original OS drive and SAVINGMYBUTT drive
making the new OS drive at least 5Gig (twice it's current
size).
5. Copy the entire OS-TEMP drive back over to the newly
formatted, correctly sized OS drive.
6. Reboot

Problem solved? Or did I miss something? Probably (sigh).
Believe me, I GREATLY appreciate any and all help you can
give me.

Thanks so much!


As I mentioned in my reply to your previous post, 1.18
MBytes of free space on the system partition is grossly
inadequate. You've painted yourself into a corner. 500
MBytes is an absolute minimum. Make the drive larger and
your problems will most likely disappear.
