Hi folks,
In trying to free up some disk space so that the bookport transfer works
happily, I looked in my "documents and settings directory." Evidently it
contains over half of what my drive contains. The problem is that when I go
in to my user directories, which supposedly contain most of the files, as I
examine each individual directory, none of them contains the amounts of data
sufficient to add up to the huge amount which the "documents and settings"
directory says it contains.
So, checking documents and settings, it says it contains 13 gb. My user
directory (rusty) says it contains nearly 13 gb, but none of the directories
in (rusty) contains enough to add up to nearly 13 gb. It's crazy!
Any thoughts?
It's set to show hidden files. I've defragged, run AddAware, virus scan. I
don't know where the data is if the directories don't add up to the right
amount.
Sorry for the OT, but I hope some one here can write me off list with
suggestions.
Rusty

It's your hard drive. Free up a lot of space, and try again.

Hi folks,
I'm writing with DAISY problems.
I'm trying to transfer a book which is around 300 megs or so. I know it's
possible.
I'm getting an error, about 19% in to the "decoding" stage of the process.
It says "ffmp3 error, disk is full." There should be enough room on the
disk, more than twice the size of the book.
But the thing that really bothers me is that it doesn't say which disk is
full, the bookport, or the hard disk, or what.
I really hope APH staff will give the DAISY functions and transfer a hard
look. I love it, but it takes so long and ties up my bookport while it's
doing all of the preparatory stuff. I wish I could be reading something
while the transfer software is decoding ETC.
Thanks!
Rusty
