Scratch Volume on PS7?

Tech Support Forum General Software

First time I opened up PS7 a message mentioning that PS was on the same Volume as Windows or something, and that ideally it should be on another volume. What does this mean, and how do I do it. Sorry that it’s vague. :swt:

Thanks.

You should install it on a different partition. Not sure why but that’s what it means

Actually, I believe it’s more about the scratch space for Photoshop. Off-hand, I don’t remember where you change it, but you can specify where, and how much space the swap file is. Of course, this is a problem if you don’t have more than one partition.

I have 2 partitions, one of which is completly empty. Will dragging it to the partition work, or shall i reinstall it on the new one?

Thanks.

I’d change where the scratch space is first. It’s less work than uninstalling/reinstalling PS7. I’m all for the easy way.

Gotcha. Ok thanks.
