    ADOBE PHOTOSHOP error. How can I create a partition on a formatted drive?

    I have windows 2k pro. I reinstalled Adobe Photoshop 7 and got this error:

    "You currently have Adobe Photoshop's primary Scratch and Windows' primary paging file on the same volume, which can result in reduced performance. It is recommended that you set Adobe Photoshop's primary Scratch volume to be on a different volume, preferably on a different physical drive."

    here is what adobe says to do: http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/327863.html




    What shall I do?

      Solution

      Change the location of Photoshop's primary scratch disk to a different hard disk or hard disk partition:

      1. In Photoshop, choose Edit > Preferences > Plug-Ins & Scratch Disks.

      2. In the Scratch Disks section, choose a different hard disk or partition from the First pop-up menu.

      3. Click OK, and restart Photoshop

                  Ignore it.
                  That is only shown at the very first startup after installation, if i remember correctly.

                          I dont have another partition.... one 20 gig hdd on this laptop. If I could run PS over the network and it be fast enough I would.

                          It is poping up every time I restart PS

                                  Get the CD " Partition Magic " or any software that you can partition your HD without formatting the whole drive...

                                      what will that cure?

                                      CS asks the exact same thing on startup

                                      how do you know he doesn't have CS?
