Installtion space issues.
« on: October 21, 2007, 11:46:39 AM »
Since repartition my hard drive into one 2gig and one 4gig partition and converting to SFS, some software has been giving me problems installing.

Both TFX and Canon Print Studio are telling me that I do not have enough space free, even though both drives are pretty empty.

What can I do?

1x A600, 2mg, 170mb hdd, OS2
1x A1500, 5mb, 500mb, OS3.1
1x A1200 SPARES
1x A500+

Add large dummy file(s) to the drive so that free storage drops to some small value (typically below 2147483648 bytes). The installer will work then. Afterwards you can remove the dummy file(s) to reclaim the disk storage.

Should be fine.

I expect any large file(s) would do the trick.
