Re: Sony Vaio Media Center 2005 Ed. Hard disk

Along with Jamie's reply, does your system drive (C:) have plenty of free space? Sony's use a pretty ridiculous partition scheme out of the box, a small chunk for the system drive and the majority for a second partition, neither Windows nor MCE will use this space on their own. I've had Sony customers galore bring their machines in because the primary partition is full, yet the majority of the drive is empty, the solution is to remove space from D and apply it to the system partition.

I get a "disk full" message which is preventing recording and tv watching.
In fact, the harddrive has plenty of space free. What's clogging up the
system? How can I remedy the situation? Anyone ableto help, please?
