Network as a scratch disk drive?

Is it possible to use a network as a scratch disk drive? I have very little space on my internal drive only and don't want to have to buy a car just to connect to my PC for a couple projects.

Thank you!

Very bad idea... really, really slow. You would be better off having a USB3 or FireWire external drive or get an extra internal hard drive if you are using a desktop computer.

  • Scratch disk on drive C.

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with PS CC2014 on a machine pro Win7 64 bit with 32 GB of Ram and 6 hard drives (SSD for the OS and applications, another two SSD for zero and one for storage - the mechanical drives are for storage and backup).

    My problem is the scratch disk file does not devote drive even if it is assigned in the prefs, instead it goes in C: > users > [name of computer] > AppData > Local > Temp > I'm working on very large images (digital art hand drawn) @280x120cm @200ppi (22047 x 9449 pixels) and space is running on C :

    PS tells me the scratch disk is full and I can not open extra files - economy seems ok (for now)... Any ideas what's happening? I work on Pro work I don't need this issue.

    In you preferences, you must remove C: in the list of drives to work or move location in the list to be the last in the list. Photoshop it will fill with drive working fist before moving on the next drive to work.  Photoshop also uses user on the C: drive space when it creates a temporary file for ASR and the temporary file created when you reopen the layer to smart object.  So even if you delete C: in the list of Scratch Disk Photoshop will use the space on your C: drive for temporary files.   If you are running windows do not use Photoshop if your startup disk is low on free space.

  • disk drive will not eject disc

    I have a Toshiba laptop and somehow I messed up the network feature so I tried to reinstall Windows 7 from the disc, I received. I put in the disk drive and unfortunately was not pushing it down on the spindle well enough.  When I opened the drive, the drive is not found.  How can I get the disc?  It does not vibrate or anything like that.  I can't see inside the car even with a flashlight.  Where is he?

    If it is under warranty let Toshiba.  Can push the tray and turn upside down maybe lappy she would fall into the lace.

  • one of my local disk drive indicates space used some GB, but nothing is stored in this disk physically.

    one of my local disk drive shows the space used a few GB of data even if nothing is physically stored in this disk

    When you go to start / computer and select which lead and then choose explore does nothing there or are there any files or folders.  Make sure you first start / Control Panel / folder Options / view and check the button to view the hidden files, check the box to show system files and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types files.  Explorer shows that it uses space (exactly how much)?  What was on this front disc has been added to your computer as an additional drive?

    Go to start / Control Panel / Admninistrative tools / computer management / disk management and tell me what he says on this drive.  Does also show the disk space used or is it clean? Hover your mouse over the the disk image and a text box appears.  Post the EXACT content, as they are presented.

    If you want to clean up (and there is nothing on it to save) then right click on the drive and click Format.  This will wipe the drive and I hope, will solve this problem.  If this is not the case, the reader may have a hidden partition that occupies space. We can deal with that by deleting the partition and then format again.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • "Scratch disk is full" error even if we can't?

    Hello world

    Quite desperate for help that I have a looming deadline for a project.

    When trying to crop in photoshop, I get an error "Could not complete your request because the"scratch disks"is full". It is on a new machine and nothing similar happened to me before. After display of the drive working in photoshop options, this is my C drive which is my OS SSD and has 114 GB of space.

    This could be the cause? I'm confused.

    Many many thanks to anyone who can help!

    Sam

    Maybe wrong dimensions specified while monoculture; like the inches instead of pixels. Check to see if this could be what that past...

  • Recommendation of scratch disk

    Hello

    My MacBook Pro is hard to edit videos recorded in 1920 x 1080 @ 60 p; H.264. most of my projects will be approximately 15-30 minutes long and the clips I use are typically 02:00 minutes to 30 seconds each. I heard the implementation of a Scratch disk can help considerably. I am on a budget and you want to spend about $50 or less. Can anyone recommend a good external hard drive that will have the speed and size that I have to make a decent record scratch?

    I'm under first CC on:

    MacBook Pro retina

    Intel Core i7 2.7 Ghz

  • Scratch disk is full

    So, I bought a new PC. My old version of Photoshop 2006 made my needs very well, however, on my new PC - which has a large HD (on a terabyte) - I was unable to save all the images and kept to "scratch disk is full."

    I tried pointing to another drive as disc "scratch"... still would not save.

    Turn on because the HD is so great, photoshop does not recognize the terabyte as being a real number... surely there should be a solution for this?
    Yes, I have to shell out the extra money & probably to buy a newer version, but this one I have Works for me very well. I'm not a technopile. I don't HAVE to have the most current version. I'm happy with mode "if it ain't broke, don't fix.
    As the capabilities of computers increase exponentially I would have thought that a simple fix allowing terabyte hard drives would be a fairly simple thing to implement... Yes? None?

    What is the exact version of photoshop you have?

    In photoshop, go to help > about Photoshop

    Versions of Photoshop 7 and greater cannot see hard drives if you have more than 1 TB of free space on them, and so we get the message from scratch the full disc.

  • scratch disk

    I treat the full error message to drive work. Because I can't open the items, I can't have preferences. When I call the reader at the start dialog box, he says he uses the 'boot' drive I don't know what it is. I tried to change it to 'C', but it is up to the start. What should do?

    Read this post on a similar question:

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

    The shortcut to open items is in the second post:

    «Press Ctrl + Shift + Alt keys and simultaneously click the button Edit in the Welcome screen.» The three keys to unlock and look behind the screen of welcome to close. (Or press the keys while double clicking on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe or the icon on the desktop for the editor, if you have a.) »

    I think the "Startup disk" means the C: drive.

    More information can help: which version of elements, what kind of drive C:, this title, how did you get your drive working (maybe a screenshot)?

    the guys in the video are a good guy, but amd cpu is currently not optimal for adobe software. its good you went to intel and the i7 - 4790 k is a good processor.

    has not changed orientation with the configuration of drive, here is a table with examples. Disk configuration

    This table was written to disk, so using ssd can offer slightly alternative configurations. instead of placing cache db first on the previews/export drive, its ok to leave on the fast ssd with windows/apps/pagefile. the screenshot that show you the scratch disk/Visual sounds great.

  • How can I reinstall the pack CS6 disk on new computor without disk drive?

    Hello, I bought Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design Standard in 2012 and now I have to reinstall on a new computer. The problem is that this new computer does not have a disk drive and unfortunately, I decided to buy the program on disk.

    I have an account and I can't find the two the serial no and don't order, but it seems that it is not possible to download the program.

    Please advice what to do.

    Best regards
    Peter Lindberg

    Ned of OK, thanks for your time, but I think you might have misunderstood the problem.
    I already have the series and all the information you would normally have to perform an installation but using this download combined with my serial number links I get the problem with invalid serial No.

    Nevermind, I solved the problem with a disk of exterial through my network drive and managed to finish the installation.

    Thanks anyway!

  • PhotoShop won't boot because "scratch disk is full."

    When I try to open PhotoShop 7, I have an error message-"unable to initialize PhotoShop because scratch disks are full."  Troubleshooting messages suggest the defragmentation and disk cleanup - I have these regularly perform a certain amount of time per week - but this doesn't seem to help.  I run Windows Vista with 4xRAM and 2 TB of HDD.  Any thoughts?

    If Photoshop won't let you put C or D or both as drive work there may be something wrong with you OS configuration.  Photoshop only allow you to configure the mountable devices as 128GB SD cards don't not assigned as working space of devices from local drive as workspace and will not display even as an option.  If C and D are optional, you should be able to erect in Photoshop "scratch disks".  Photoshop supports up to four "scratch disks".  I have only 3 local devices that can be used as workspace.  Normally, I do not have E: assigned as a work for its disk drive external 4 TB usb3.  But I can assign my all of my local disk for Photoshop zero disk space my brackets mounted cannot be used for the workspace...

  • Drag - to - Disk Drive shortcut problem

    I ran System Update on my T500.  Updates seem to work, but now from the start, I get the following message:

    Problem with shortcut

    The drive or network connection that designates the shortened Drag-to-Disk Drive (F) .encre is not available.

    Does anyone know what generates this error message?  I bring anything new, but this error message is again with these updates.

    Thank you!

    Suriya - Thanks for the help.   I had looked everywhere (I thought) for this shortcut and couldn't find it.  Now that I have, it seems to have solved the problem.

  • "Scratch disks" and RAM

    I'm still trying to understand exactly what does PS with a working drive, but in any case it seems that my system works as it should. I'm always puzzled by why PS is not making much of a dent in my 32 GB of RAM but filling my empty temporary files disk?

    That aside, it seems that I need a disc of more work for the size of the file that I work with.  Currently, I have a 128G SSD designated as my drive to work (Nothing on it), my OS and applications on a separate DSS, my working file on a separate SSD, LR catalog on another SSD and files and others on readers separate tray internal and external.

    I work with a 32G file and keep getting bogged down. I read that the drive working should be anywhere from 10 to 100 times larger than the file you are editing - it is a wide choice. I guess that depending on the size of your working file your drive to work may have to be exponentially larger?

    So, given a 32G working file (that will get done adding layers, not bigger), this drive working size would you recommend?

    Working on a quad core i7 4790K, GPU GTX 980 32 G RAM, Windows 10, PS CC

    As I understand it, the scratch disk is the main memory of Photoshop, and it uses the RAM as a cache. Normally, Photoshop deletes temporary files when closing, but if, due to a power failure or a crash, some temporary files remain, they can be removed safely.
