#Out of space blew C: !
5 messages in this thread
Well, here's a good one for ya! I had a rendering FLIC blow up on me with an
"out of space on temporary drive" message with only a "Continue" button to
choose. When I did, everything on my C: drive (which is a 1.3GB drive) was
blown away. I don't have any other drive, and there's over 1/2GB free on
there! Any ideas?
Mike,

What? …. How many frames was the flic? After rendering a few frames
what are the results of Info-Status (ie. "?")?

It sounds like you were probably rendering in High Palette mode and your hard
disk controller SEVERELY choked at some point… not necessarily because you
ran out of disk space. A flaky disk controller can do almost anything.

I think you're likely right, Gary. I just had to swap the controller out and
then re-low-level and start from scratch (it's a 1.3GB ESDI drive – not your
'average' stuff, these days….).
Good luck, Mike.
