I'm admining this disk for a client. I called Lacie about this problem
but they were unable to help.
My client is using Mac OS 9.2 for all desktops. The Lacie 80GB
Ethernet Disk comes with XP Embedded Version 5.1 (Build
2600xpsp1.020828-120)
The disk has a C dirve, 3.9GB and a D drive, 70GB. The C drive has the
XP OS and the D drive has the network share.
By default when you put this thing on the network you can connect to
it via SMB and Appleshare. This was working fine for 2 months.
Now we cannot see the disk from the Mac using Appleshare. But we can
connect via SMB. My client uses Mac OS 9 which has no SMB client so
temporarily I installed a trial version of 'Dave Client' which is
working fine.
Back to the real problem. So I loged onto the disk using Remote
Desktop Connection. I open 'My Computer' and I see Local Disk (C) and
Local Disk (D).
I mouseover C and see Free Space 0 bytes, Total Size 3.90GB. The D has
53GB free, 70GB total.
The problem is that the C drive is NOT full. If I select all files and
folders and get properties I see a collective size of 1.8GB. So there
is 2.1GB missing.
What is using this 2.1GB? At the DOS prompt, I do 'dir'and it says no
free space. In Computer Management it shows the C as no free space. I
suspect it is a virtual memory thing, but I could be way wrong. The VM
property sheet shows paging file as System Managed Size, currently
136MB. The box itself has 128MB RAM.
When the share is visible on the network, only the D drive is
available. Users do not have access to the C Drive. The only way to
get to the C drive is via remote log in. Nothing has been installed on
the C Drive. And as it is XP, Disk Cleanup is not present. There is no
CD ROM so I can't boot it from a CD.
In Services I see "Miramar Appletalk File Server" with Automatic
startup, but not started. This is obvuiously why the Macs cannot
access via Appleshare. When I try to start it I get:
Errors occured during the system rebuild operation. Please view the
DOS text file for an error report.
So I presume there's some attempt to write to disk (which is
apparently full). And what is the the DOS text file?
Anyone, how do I recover my diskspace? I let Lacie login remotely but
they had no clue.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanx
