I have no idea why this is happening... but I'm not incredibly technical so if somebody could help me out, that would be wonderful. I have a virtual machine created on my internal hard drive as my "original." Because I was having corruption problems with service pack 2, I decided to have an "original" virtual machine which I clone onto my external drive. I use the virtual machine on my external drive with no problems until 2 days ago. I installed ACT software on my "original." Now, when I try cloning the original to my external drive, it gives me an Error 27 saying I don't have enough space. The clone ends up being well over 20 gigs (My external drive has 45 gigs on it). Why would the clone be so big when the original on my internal hard drive is only about 4 gigs? What can I do to fix this problem? Let me know if you need any other information. I'm using a Mac Book Pro with os x 10.4.9, my external drive is a Firelite with up to 50 gigs (right now i have 45 free)
Well I think I figured it out. I ended up reformatting my external drive in Mac OS Extended format. Everything worked after that. I guess it was my file size that was stopping it from copying at all. That is my non technical version of what happened.
Sounds accurate if the drive was previously formatted in, say, FAT32. That is an out-of-space, or exceeded max space, error.
