Could not initialize photoshop not available disk.

I have 3 HD my Mac OS works on 1 HD and my apps.  I use HD 1 & 2 as peripheral storage for photos and video. I went my disc scratch 2 HD and HD 3 but clicked order 1 HD as a scratch disk in photoshop CS4 extended.  Now I can't open photoshop not even to reset my scratch disks.  It does not open because it is said that he could not initialize photoshop because the disk is not available.  The weird part is that I can't open photoshop in CS3 for the same reason even if I don't touch that.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the drive and time machine, but does not help.  How do I change back to what I had before I got it screwed up.  I can't believe that the program allows himself to be thwarted so easily without any warning.

Thank you

Scott

Go back in Time Machine to before that you did and restore Photoshop and preferences folders in the folders HD\Library\Preferences, HD\Library\Application Support\Adobe and Home\Library\Preferences.

Or you can simply empty the preferences and then try to restart the Psalm

I suggest the Time Machine method where you have the files or settings of the workspace you want not to lose and have to reset

  • "Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."?

    I've been happily turn Photoshop CS (1) on my Powermac MDD for years.

    But today, she is facing upward.  Here's the problem: I get the error message "could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."

    I have studied this problem and see that it's been covered in the thread:
    http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/370672?start=0 & tstart = 0

    So I trashed preferences and the SFW prefs also.
    Now Photoshop starts... BUT as soon as I go into the preferences and assign a scratch disk, he failed once more to throw with the same error: "could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."

    I tried to slide on the copies of the utility Photoshop of my backup disk files... but the same strange behavior persists.

    My Scratch disk is on a second internal hard drive.

    This all started when I had to restart from OS 9 order to use my SCSI scanner, which only has an OS9 driver.
    I used it for years with no problem... until today.

    Was it because once I saved the file in Photoshop 4 and OS9 on an OSX file that somehow the preferences got screwed up?

    Popular clues...

    work drive must be HFS +.

    also check the permissions of the property in the Infolog to get for the reader scratching. You may need to ignore permissions for this volume.

  • "Could not initialize photoshop because"scratch disks"is full."

    "Could not initialize photoshop because"scratch disks"is full." This is the error message that appears when I try to open my Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. I just installed this program on my new HP Pavilion model h8-1214, which has 1.8 TB of space with 10.0 GB of RAM. I have read the forums on this problem, but they say how to solve the problem through Photoshop. How can I fix the scratch disk settings without being able to open Photoshop? Please help me with this problem of the Adobe Support team will not even answer my question...

    Thank you.

    By far the simplest solution is to upgrade to photoshop elements 10 or newer, which has no problem with big hard drives and has some new features you may like.

    It is available for a 30 day trial.

    In fact the pse versions 3 and later versions have no problem with large hard drives.

    Here are some things you can try that might work:

    Option 1: Just after the double click on the PES shortened 2 press the Ctrl + Alt keys and press and hold keys until you get the scratch disk Preferences dialog box

    then choose your recovery as the first partition. This only works if you have a recovery partition or another hard drive smaller installed that you can use as the scratch disk.

    (I don't have a partition recovery on this computer)

    Option 2. Retractable (shrink volume) present HDD up to 1 TB

    Option 3: If you have windows 7 pro or ultimate, you can use virtual xp (download from microsoft)

  • reformatting laptop computer ("could not unmount disk')

    Hi all

    I gave my mom my 2009 MBP and reformatted the drive. She didn't use it and I tried to reformat then I had my name and ID on it and ended up having to bring the genius bar because I couldn't get out to 'one-grey' PARTITION tab turns out I had to BOOT OPTION on the hard drive recovery in order to reformat the drive of the user (or whatever we call it).

    the problem is that I brought home and he had a password that I was not able to remember.

    so I thought I'd REFORMAT in OPTION STARTING in the hard drive recovery.

    now when I go to the PARTITION tab I try to reformat to one partition and I get an error "could not remove the disc.

    can someone help me find a way to get this disk to a new facility with no connection so I can make it work with her again?

    Thanks in advance

    You can try and use the original CD-ROM of your operating system to format your drive, or you can create a bootable USB drive and reformat your hard disk from there. By starting in something other than the computer's hard drive, you can work around the disk to remove error.

    Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204904

    Use the version of Mac OS X included with your Mac, or a more recent compatible version - Apple Support

    I hope this helps!

  • Photoshop does not start. Scratch the disc is not available

    Help, please. I assigned a certain player on my Mac pro to be a scratch for CS4 disc, as I did when I had a PC. Now, when I try and start CS4 it stops and says "cannot open a file because the disk is not available" I press OK and then get "could not initialize photoshop because the disk is not available.

    Try the following. Hold Down CTRL + ALT + keys a whild them hold start Photoshop. Which should cause Photoshop to make appear the Scratch Disk dialog box.  Be sure to set some discs which has free space.

    This had already happened with another server (also W2003 DC), but the hardware was completely different; Unfortunately, I wasn't able to solve this year here.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks in advance

    Thank you for all your help

    I finally found the guilty service.

    It was pcmonitor monitor/remote control software. Once I stopped it is service vmware converter could get the capacity of the physical drives.

    It is rather curious because I made several servers P2V conversions using this software (so far the last one two weeks ago - the difference between that server and this one was that the first was not a domain controller).

    Hopefully this thread will help others in the future.

    Hey, Gerard!

    Not, this work. So I tried to remove Photoshop and install it again. And it works. Now it can open all files :-)

    So if anyone has the same problem, it is advisable to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop.

    Deleting the prefs and repeairing disk permissions have not helped.

    Any ideas?

    He has got to work!

    I don't know why, but remove the 'Adobe Photoshop CC Prefs.psp"reinstall after that worked.  I remove before reinstalling and it did not help.

    Best I can say is that the last update failed to install properly and in some sort the file above has been altered in the repair process.

    To sum up;

    -Save preference files

    -Remove the preferences using the uninstall Applications and Photoshop file

    -Quit and then relaunch cloud Creative Manager to update the list of applications

    -Download and install Photoshop from the CC Manager

    -Replace the workspaces and other necessary files excluding "Adobe Photoshop CC Prefs.psp" in the Preferences folder.

  • JBOD Qosmio G20 - could not initialize the disk of 320 GB - 1RAID-0

    Hello, comrades Toshiba users,
    at first, I apologize if this question has already been answered, but I did not find the answer to my problem.

    One of my colleagues has a Toshiba Qosmio G20 with two 80 GB drives. Big 17-inch "surf-board-sized" computers laptops are not my cup of tea, but the Qosmio him quite well served.
    We tried to upgrade the two hard drives of aging in his laptop. With considerable experience in replacing the readers of the laptop, I didn't expect no particular surprise, but I was wrong.

    We tried to replace the original disks
    Bay 1: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, System
    2: 80 GB Fujitsu drive, data, RAID off the coast of the Bay

    with the new
    Bay 1: 320 GB WD Scorpio
    WD Scorpio 2: 320 GB drive Bay.

    The BIOS of the G20 is v1.30, the latest version. It recognizes new readers-, but one of the new marking as 1RAID-0 disks fails. After trying to "initialize" the 320 GB drive in bay 1 as 1RAID-0, on the third page of the G20 of BIOS, there is a disk activity, but the drive remains in JBOD mode.

    Unable to mark the drive of 320 GB 1RAID-0, I am unable to use the 320 GB drive as a system disk.

    If the original system drive is cloned on a new 320 GB drive, that it does not start. Starting XP * begins * but subsequently fails with STOP 0x7B - in other words, the infamous blue screen INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE when the Toshiba RAID driver is loaded during Windows startup.
    Plain vanilla CD, of course with slipstreamed windows installation driver Toshiba, impossible rest. Installing Windows don't "see" drive in Bay 2.

    When the drive system is put in the high Bay and G20 is started from it, Windows XP starts correctly. The drive in Bay 1 is accessable from Windows, however, remains offline in the RAID from Toshiba console. If the start player in Bay 2 is not an option, too.

    A similar problem, where the owner could not install a system of 200 GB drive is described here
    Link: http://tinyurl.com/38wokw
    The owner, however managed to install a 100 GB drive and we have resorted to 80 GB of disk as a system disk and the only player upgrade in Bay 2 to 320 GB.

    I understand what happens when the disk is 'initialized' in the BIOS. Only brands of BIOS of Toshiba disk 1RAID-0, and it breaks down on 320 GB drive. I will refrain from expressing my opinion on this practice.

    My question is - if it is possible, how * manually * mark the drive of 320 GB 1RAID-0?
    Using a hex editor, dd or something similar is no problem. A partial answer would also know the disc more large size which * can * be marked with success under the name of 1RAID-0 at BIOS G20.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure, what could be wrong by presumably 320 HARD drive size might be too big!
    How about the 100 GB or 120 GB hard drives?

    I think you should consider it because usually most of the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and therefore not all sizes are supported.

    But note; using the configuration of 1RAID-0 (striping), met by the operating system size is twice more only if the smaller of the two HARD drives in RAID configuration. Using RAID-0, all data on both disks will be lost, even if it is training of two disks fails.

  • Outlook Express could not be started. The application was unable to initialize the store directory. Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full. Error code: 0 x 80007114

    Operating system Windows XP, at startup, I get the message: "Outlook Express could not be started. The application was unable to initialize the store directory. Your computer may be out of memory or your disk is full"and displays the error code: 0 x 80007114.  (I have a new drive hard with enough space) Outlook Express always open well and functioning normally.  The message mentions and how to fix the problem?  Thank you, Rick

    Jump here (nothing Bruce suggested is false), I did a search and found this old article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245419), which indicates that there is a bad entry under the identity key in the registry (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx for background).  So if it's a big problem, you can do the steps suggested in this article and that will fix it.  Or if you have just one account, then backup your settings and the identity key and then delete the identity key and then start OE and it will establish a new, and you can then set up your account again, and then import the messages from the older directory.  But it does not indicate the major corruption, so you can just ignore it.
