I am unable to get work because I have not enough free disk space (according to BOINC) how much space do you need? I have 10 Gb free on my hard drive and im using the default settings... Help please! |

You need about 700M per processor, plus about 330M at completion of each model for some zipped data files. For a HT P4, 2Gig of space to start with. Les |

> so how do you set it to allocate more disc space ? You do it by changing your general preference settings from the My account page on the left.There are three settings affecting space allocation that you may need to adjust. In your case I suggest moving BOINC on the drive with more space as well, if you have not already done so. Keep a backup copy of the BOINC directory if you already have work on it, then move the whole directory to the new drive and reinstall BOINC into it. Installing BOINC on the system drive is best avoided if you can. |
