wow I can confirm that this has worked! THANKS ells17

your solution didnt work for me, wish it had! but i am still getting the disk problem status

i think it is just a glitch thats all
i got the same problem and all i did is cancel the download and go to teh incoplete download and resumed it and it worked (just keep on doing this) and it should download again

Some of you are suggesting that I should "clean up" or "defragment" the hard disk. My download folder is on drive (C:). So please anyone tell me how to do that exactly? Kindly enlighten as you would an 11-year-old. I'm actually 18, but then again that's only a number. I'm really just a girl who eats, sleeps, breathes music & things like this just sends her spiraling into clinical depression. So please help me, tech-gods. Thank you, goodnight.

Start menu -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Computer Management. Select Disk Defragmenter.

* Disk error issue is actually often also caused by your main drive C partition being too full. So would be best to change your download location to a different partition/drive.

"Clean up"? Does that mean I only have to delete a few files from the drive? Or clear out the entire drive? What? Somebody please say something. This feels like Peenemünde all over again. Thank you, goodnight.

clean up as in to get rid of trash and empty the trash can....

Thanksalot for coming to my rescue. However, my download folder is on drive (C:) & you're talking about some trash can... Does my trash really count towards my disk space use on drive (C:)? I usually empty my recycle bin & I'm still getting the same "disk problem" message. This is too much already! Please help some more. Thank you, goodnight.

trash is a relative term I guess...let's just refer to it as files that are no longer needed on your machine...most of us have some, I've even got a few myself, but I'm not pressed for disk space at the moment...what LOTR was indicating is that perhaps your drive is not only full of unnecessary files (which you would let click on and choose delete, then empty your trash can...and yes, until you empty the trash can, they are still considered to be available and are taking up space) but also has become fragmented which means there are available clusters of disc space all over the place as opposed to being in a nice neat block of open space...

soooo...to reiterate what LOTR advised, clean your HDD of unneeded files, then defragment using the tool he gave the location to...

Sounds like your C partition is nearing full or/& highly fragmented. Do you have another available partition or drive you can use? You can change download location in your LW options. Some presently downloading files may still download to C after changing location but you can right-click them in download window & choose save to # partition.
