I have read how to change the scratch disk for photoshop but when I get to that screen it will not let me deselct the scratch disk selected in order to change it. It is currently set to the startup disk. Help! I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program which did nothing.

How many discs you have listed. Ps must have one disc as scratch, it won't let you deselect the only one that is available. If you have multiple listed try to select some other. You can also try to hold Alt + Ctrl while starting Photoshop to change scratch disc.

I get to the screen where it lists the scratch disk but I dont see how to add one so that I have the option to change. Thanks for the quick reply!

Are you on Windows or Mac with latest release of Photoshop? It shoud detect any connected disc, if not try restarting Photoshop.
