Sandbox Problem

[BobT]

I am a recent born-again Macintosh user after many years of Windows PCs.

I have tried twice to make a Sandbox on a 40 gig partition on one of my 300 gig Maxtor Onetouch II firewire HDs. This was partitioned with Disk Utility, and GUID , Extended (Journaled).

I have an iMac 20" intel Leopard computer with a 500 gig HD and 2 gig memory.

I have VMWare Fusion on board with Vista HP installed.

I was unable to find any documentation of where SD keeps copies of logs. It seems to overwrite it's log each time it is used?

The Sandbox log showed a failure to copy some VMWARE files because of lack of disk space?

Any help getting me a successful "Sandbox"would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the log that covers the failure I posted about earlier. I have taken the liberty of"bolding" the parts of the log where the problem occurred.

Well... you're not making a Sandbox, you're making a full backup. And you're trying to copy over 100GB to a 40GB partition...

Thanks-D.

I must be a complete dufus.

I did not catch that!

Will try again this evening.
