says "Cannot copy file. There is not enough free disk space. Delete one or more files to free disk space,

and then try again. To free up space on this drive by deleting old or unnecessary files, click Disk Cleanup." Here is a possible problem: If the file is greater than 4 Gb in size, i.e. 4,000,000 Kb in size, and the error copying file or folder the requested resource is in use target disk was formatted using the file format FAT32, you can't have any file that size on the target drive. That's why it won't copy, but the idiots at Microsoft don't tell you that in the error message. Instead, they send you on a wild goose chase deleting disk space. To find out if the target disk is formatted as FAT32, click My Computer right click the drive look at the Properties, which should say FAT32 or NTFS If this helped, please email me! To see the page on the Microsoft site where they tell you how to convert FAT32 to NTFS, use the following link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx 617-PATRICK Social Media Consulting (617)-PATRICK, i.e. 617-728-7425 patweb@patrickomalley.com Twitter: 617patrick

Originally the Access database file got lost, and started causing 500 errors on the website because it could not find the database file. I found a backup of the database and copied it back to the file folder and got a "out of disk space error". I deleted some pictures in a different directory of the same website to free some space and was then able to get the error copying file database file copied back to the directory it belongs in. When trying to copy the pictures back I receive the disk space error again. The drive does not have any quotas and the drive is formatted as NTFS. It seems to me like a 100MB limit is being placed on this site, but I cannot find where. Some information: Operating system: Windows Server 2003 R2 C drive free space : 508GB C drive properties : Quota is disabled [not ticked] Website directory : c:\myhostedsite\something.org.za\www\ Asp.net version 1.1.4322 Error message: Error Copying File or Folder Cannot copy XXXXXXX: There is not enough free disk space.
