Hey! Been using Photoshop for about 5 years now and have never encountered this issue until now. Whenever I try to launch Photoshop it says that my scratch disks are full, which indeed they are however when prompted to change my Drive I do not have the option to select my drive with free space, There's no option for it. Any suggestions? I'm on the newest version of Photoshop.

Right now you have bigger problems than Photoshop. Does Windows recognize the drive? If it does, start offloading everything you can from your system drive immediately. Your computer can freeze up at any moment. 6GB can be gone in seconds!

 

Or find something else, anything else, you can move files to.

 

As for why Photoshop can't see the drive - what kind of drive is it, what interface, how is it formatted?
