I have Lightroom 3.3 on a Windows 7 x64 machine. It's started to throw a disk critically low warning every few days for the drive that has my LR catalog on it. The drive has 390GB free .
Lightroom 4.3 today started popping up random 'critically low on disk space' errors for the drive housing the catalog file.The drive in question has over 500GB free. There are no errors in Windows logs showing that OS is throwing these errors.
This document has been damaged by a disk error. The most likely causes of this error are: a defective disk drive, a defective disk drive cable, or incorrect peripheral cable termination. Some of the pixels in this document may be invalid.
Windows 7, had everything working fine. Added SSD and installed system from scratch on SSD. Old drive is now my second drive.
Trying to put the scratch disk on the second (old) drive to reduce wear on the SSD. But every time I do, I get the disk error message and it erases all my settings (so annoying!)
I figure it's a permissions thing since I've had to deal with that already to some degree, but I don't know how to fix it since I don't know where adobe is trying to save the scratch file.
so i recently restored my computer back to factory settings .. so my computer doesnt even have any new downloaded app .. i download photoshop cs6 now im getting scratch disk errors ..which i dont see possible if my computer doesnt have anything on it (besides what it came with) my hard drive has 276 gb i only used 33 . i made an external hard drive and that has 8 gb ... also its moving very slow .. also its telling me i cant make an new canvas size 1920 x 1020 with an resloution of 300 .. im using windows 7 Toshiba
I was working on a file earlier today when it failed while processing after I edited a particularly extensive mass. It asked if I wanted to save a recovery file, I said yes, but I am not sure it worked properly (it might have said 'could not be saved' but i clicked 'OK' quickly so i could re-open revit and get on with work)
Anyways, when I went back to start again it said I had to manually recover the file and that I should ask Autodesk support. I looked on forums and they said i should go to the 'open' dialogue box, check the 'audit' box and reopen the file, but after doing this I got a second error message that said something along the lines of "your file has an incorrect schema'.
This project is not part of any collaboration, it's standalone and on my home PC.I couldn't find any email to write to, or number to call, or FAQ, so here I am.
This is the third damned problem I've had with this file, might have something to do with a trojan on my computer chewing into my RAM but whatever the case it's time this crap stopped!
I am creating photo scenery for Flight Simulator X - my source files are large bmp's. From each of these I create a greyscale file which I Save As a tif file. However, when I recompile the bmp and tif together, I get error messages. Most common is a reference to Date/Time being incorrect.
If I load the tif file in GIMP, it reports "Incorrect Count for field DateTime (21, expecting 20); tag trimmed" - If I then save the tif in Gimp, it recompiles without errors.
I ran the update function on Friday, and I think the download might have gotten corrupted. Today, Monday, when I try to start the program I get only a little window with this notice:
Could not complete your request the internal file signature is incorrect.
The dubious grammar doesn't bother me so much as the fact that the Creative Cloud window tells me that I'm up to date. I don't know how to get a new download to replace the bad one I probably have.Oddly, the 32 bit version of CC works fine. 5.1 still works, too.
When the 'up' arrow appears in a thumbnail and comes up with the message:
The metadata for one or more of these photos has been changed by another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?
What exactly does that mean? This seems to happen every time I export an image to PS (CS5) and return to LR. What exactly has changed? What settings are being imported if I choose 'import settings from disk'.

So I just purchased and installed my first copy of an Adobe Suite and now I can't print. Back story: I had CS4 on my machine from my last job and it printed fine. When I lost my job, I went the legit route and installed the demo for CS 6 until I was able to aquire my own copy. CS 6 also printed fine.
I found a version on eBay of CS 5.5 and was eager to install. Yes, it is a full legit version with original disc and packaging; the seller even went so far as to have the liscence transfered over to me. I used the "AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool" to remove all previous versions before doing a clean install of CS 5.5. Everything else in the suite seems to be running normally except printing.
I've looked on the forums and tried several of their suggestions to no avail: 1) I tried changing the "Color Handling" in the print options box. 2) I tired running it in 32 bit mode. 3) I tried fixing permissions. 4) I trashed my preferences and tried the Shift-Option-Command trick 5) I updated the Adobe software (no updates for Photoshop) 6) I reinstalled my printer drivers.
I just printed last night from CS 6 and now no luck today.
Lately when I try to crop an image in Photoshop CS2 (9.0.1) I get the message that the function could not be completed because the scratch disk was full.
I only have a "C" drive and I have over 15 gig free. I have optimized the hard drive and that didn't do anything . Can someone help me with this problem?
What does it mean when I try to open a file in photoshop and get a scratch disk error. And how do I stop it from keep hapening again. I try to solve it by purging out stuff.
Running a recently installed (5-6 days ago) 2.8.4 version of gimp. When I go to open a photo for editing, the program opens an error message window that says:
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into the drive \Device\Harddisk3\DR3
I have the option to cancel, try again or continue. All three options give me an "error sound" and the message window flashes at me. Only after I've forced gimp to close by right clicking the tab on the bottom tool bar...can I get the error window to go away. But it also has to be forced by the same method and not by using cancel or even the "X" in the upper right corner. I've used an older version of Gimp (on a different machine) for the last year; not to mention I used this version for a couple of days before this message started popping up. I work from/save all my photos to a flash drive, so I'm not exactly sure why the program keeps looking for disk.
I have had Photoshop CS5 installed on my system for over a year, and it worked fine all this time under Snow Leopard. Now that I've upgraded to Lion, Photoshop will not open due to these messages:
-Could not open a scratch file because the disk is unavailable. -Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is unavailable.
The scratch disk in question is an 80gb partition of a 1tb internal hard drive. If I delete the preferences file (by holding down cmd-shift-opt when starting PS) then it starts up just fine. If I go into preferences and reset it to use the scratch disk, then next time I try to reopen the program I get the same 2 error messages and I have to ditch the preferences again.
There is nothing wrong with the disks, I verified them. And anyway, I've been using that scratch disk with Photoshop for the last year with no issues. It was only after I switched to Lion that this started happening.I need to be able to take advantage of the performance increase that a scratch disk offers.
Recently I have been receieving the following error message when Photoshop CS6 x64 srtarts up on my Windows 7 machine. Ps resides on my SSD.
I don't always get the message but when I press X, Cancel, Try Again, or Continue the message repeats until finally Ps starts. I'm not sure what drive DeviceHarddisk3Dr3 is supposed to mean.
photoshop cs6 was working fine a few weeks ago. After not using it for about 2 weeks, I try opening a RAW file and I get this error every time. JPGs open and work fine. I have extensively searched on the internet for solutions and have tried everything such as: disk checking, deframgenting, playing around with photoshop preferences, deleting temp files, resetting preferences, clearing disk space. I have assigned two hard drives for photoshop, one with 16 GB free and the other with 8 GB free.
Photoshop CS4 will not open, when I try and open it I get "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a disk error. Photoshop will now exit." Bridge is working fine?
I am now getting a unspecified error when I try to create a disc. It tells me to:send the file C:documents and settingsxxxlocal settings empvstudio_14.0.1.3_20101220_083832.DMP to tech support. Trouble is there is no technical support unless I have a paid subscription. I cannot read the file because windows xp will not recognize it. I see nowhere on here that I can attach the named file.
I'm getting this error when opening two specific PSD files in Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP Pro:
"This document has been damaged by a disk error..."
I've been testing hard drives and memory, as well as looking at other files, and as of now I think it's not a systematic problem; rather, I suspect that these two files were damaged when migrating from my old computer.
I have two questions for anyone out there who has troubleshot this issue before:
1. One of the files has a violent green stripe 50-100 pixels wide in Photoshop, but when opened in Gimp it looks fine except for two individual pixels that are pure green. The other has a blue stripe across it in Photoshop, but looks fine in Gimp. (I am comparing specifically the background, without any layers.) Why would the Photoshop and Gimp views of the same image differ so widely?
2. Does anyone know of a script that can check all files for this error? Sitting there opening all of my thousands of PSDs one at a time seems like a royal pain, and something that could be automated by someone who knows how...
I am trying to save a rgb tif file (file size is 31mb) with a single layer that was applied since opening, the only way I am being allowed to save it is if i flatten the image, which i do not want to do. When I try to save it I get "Could not save "leeo083.TIF" because of disk error.
I am on a Dual 2 GHz G5 with 3 gigs of ram OS 10.3.5 There is 40 gigs of open space on the harddrive. Photoshop CS the file is located on the desktop and I am attempting to save it in the same folder.
I have tried save, save as and get the same error.
I get this message when trying to save files in Photoshop CS2. This happens about 90% of the time when I try to save or save as. I have to save to the desktop or another folder for it to work.
Message I get: "Could not save "Name.tif" because of a disk error."
I happily used Gimp 2.4 and 2.6 for quite some time on my laptop.Now I have downloaded and installed Gimp 2.8 it won't open any files for me - when I try to open a file it returns an error message "no disc in the drive" about a disc drive I don't believe I have.I tried uninstalling and reinstalling (two weeks later) and the same bug recurred.
Everytime I try to save a file in PS it tells me I can't because the disk is full.I have to save it to the desktop and then cut/paste it into the folder I want.So annoying and time consuming! been doing this for months. How can I correct this?
The crashes always occur while editing a photo in the Camera Raw editor in Bridge (most of the time they are JPG files, yes you can edit JPGS in the Adobe Camera Raw editor) and then hit the "Open Image" button that will open the image in Photoshop. Often Bridge, Photoshop and InDesign all are "not responding" and have to be force quit.
Always when I'm editing a photo in Photoshop that is on a server I get the " Could not create a preview because of a disk error message" which I have to hit the OK button to clear. I just tested this several times and I never get the disk error message when editing an image from my hard drive. I suspect there is a network communication problem.

I am trying to burn a non-HD project onto a Blu-Ray Disk and every time after the video/audio stage I get the "unspecified error" message. I have now wasted 6 Blu-ray disks trying to solve this problem. I have reloaded the software and uploaded the patch. I have checked and all my drivers are up to date.
Files are not corrupted as I have checked. I have even tried this on a 16 second video and it fails. I can burn it to DVD but the quality is poor. I have tried reducing the speed to the lowest setting at 4X. It is writing to the BD-R as mentioned but the content is not recognized. If I write it to a Blu-ray file it appears to work.
