In our office, we have a Mac Plus which had a 400K external disk drive attached. When our repair people told us it would cost well over $100 to fix it, I persuaded my boss to spend an extra $100 or so and get an 800K drive. Today it arrived and I installed it. Since we only have double-sided disks, some were formatted at 400K on that machine. I took a disk with MacWrite on it, copied it into my hard disk on another machine, reformatted the disk to 800K, and copied everything back onto the disk. Then the user deleted many files so that there is about 500K free on the disk. Now, when we try to create a new file from MacWrite, we get a message saying that the disk is too full to create a new file. However, if I open another file and do a Save As, I can create a new file. Does anyone have any insight into what's wrong? Thanks, Steve Goldfield University of California at Berkeley College of Engineering
