Cannot Save File because of disk error

I selected 4 RAW images in Lightroom and chose the Merge to Panorama In Photoshop. After the file was created and I cropped it to my desired dimensions I tried to perform a simple save. I was asked what name to give the file and I went with the default settings and clicked OK on the Maximize Compatibility dialogue but I get an error that said "Cannot Save XXXXXX.PSD because of a Disk Error.
There are no details and not other options to find details. The drive these images came from have permissions set to Read and Write so I don't know what the issue is.

Your OS has reported a disk error - which usually means that there is a serious problem with the disk.
Photoshop is just passing along the error it got from the OS.

  • Cannot save file because it is open or in use by another program

    Windows XP, (or Vista, or Version 7, they all do it) CS2-3 or 4, all combinations have the problem.  Even the Macs.  Today was the worst I've ever seen and I'd love a solutions.
    I'm editing in WindowsXP in CS3 and need to send a JPEG version to my client for an approval.
    Flatten file, make sure any saved selections are deleted.  Select File / Save As/ and select JPEG instead of PHotoshop.  Select the level of compression..hit OK, and photoshop won't save the file "because it's already open, or another app is using it. 
    Try the same thing but wait a while before hitting the final OK (this works more times than not)  not today.
    Try changing the filename to Test.jpg Nope
    Try changing the filename to A.jpg Nope
    Try changing the filename to Test File.jpg Nope
    Try saving it as a TIF  That worked. 
    Open the tif and try saving THAT as a jpeg.  sometimes it works, somtimes it doesn't.  If it does I can just rename the file. 
    Now all of this is going on while my client is looking over my shoulder wondering what sort of booger-eating moron I am.  I'm wondering too of course.
    And of course I've got a handful of ~***.psd files that I need to delete.
    Now the newest and strangest twist is that when I get home from the office, and connect my removable drive and start the computer, before Windows 7 starts up, the system starts running a chkdks on the drive and scaring the daylights out of me with all of these dire issue it's finding.
    Odd that Photoshop will disown a file it just this second created, but at the same time will let you delete a file in Bridge while it is clearly open in Photoshop.
    I've seen the same threads for In Design, and Illustrator going all the way back to version 7 (before the CS series)
    In my little world it seems high time for a soslutions.  Anyone got any clues they'd be willing to share?

    Mr Sullivan...Happens on all three of my systems.
    1...Windows XP with CS3 writing to my traveling drive
    2...Windows 7 64 bit, CS4 writing to the same drive
    3.  Windows XP CS4 writing to an internal laptop drive.
    I'm doing a test shot today.  I don't think it will involve the same level of Photoshop dependence that the paying job did, but I'll see what problems persist.  The only change would be a few days rest, and running CHKDSK on the suspicious Drive (which I'll replace this weekend...takes a while to format a large drive and transfer all the contents)
    I can't tell you how much I appreciate everyone's ideas.  Thanks thrill seekers.

    Did you compare the initial and final file sizes? It is often
    just that: the file is a corrupted or partially downloaded binary.

  • Photoshop wont open get error could not open a scratch file because the disk is not available

    Had to clone my hard drive to another drive on my computer.
    I have been receiving a message "Could not open a scratch file because the disk is not available"  I have tried UN-installing and re-installing...still the same message.
    Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    What do you have here.
    If that does not help, reset your prefs
    Hold fingers over Shift Option Command (or similar on Windows) then boot Photoshop and as fast as you can depress the 3 keys.

  • Whenever I try to open an attachment I get "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred"

    Title says it all. If I try to "open" an attachment, the download dialogue comes up and the progress bar begins to fill, then when it should be complete I get the message:
    "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred
    Please Try Again."
    I can still save the files, but then I have to delete them (and that's just a hassle). Any help would be appreciated!

    Tools, Options, Attachments, Incoming. Then set to your prefered PDF reader.
    An update has reset this to the internal PDF viewer rather than sticking with the one you had before. This reader does not work on my machine.

  • "Could not complete the save command because of program error."

    Dear all,
    I am having problems saving jpegs on Photoshop CS3. I use windows XP professional. I am saving using the save menu (not save as). I am using a saving archive, where folders are within folders. I am trying to save images which have been copy and pasted from the web.
    The message I get is:
    “Could not complete the save command because of program error.”
    Has anyone got this message, and know how to solve it?
    Helen

    I think My Documents is a local folder.
    I would avoid saving to deeply buried folders because the path will be too long.
    If the problem still persists, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Issue with Windows Photo Viewer: "can't save picture because an unknown error occured"

    Hi,
    I recently installed Windows 7 RC (Build 7100). I quite often have an issue in Windows Photo Viewer when rotating an image and trying to go to the next picture. It gives me the error "Windows Photo Viewer can't save picture because an unknown error occured".
    Seperate from this issue: when I delete a picture in Windows Photo Viewer, it is still in the Windows Explorer overview of files. This did not use to be the case in Windows XP?
    Kind regards,
    Frederik

    Hi
    SOSv2 ,
    This should be fixed in Windows 7 RTM.
    Also, you can install Windows Live Photo Gallery to view and rotate pictures as well. To download it, please click
    HERE . For more information about Windows Live Photo Gallery, you can
    a question on
    Windows Live Answers
    In addition, please understand that Nikon RAW images (and most Canon) do not support rotate functionality in Windows Photo Viewer, and thus rotate is
    disabled. To rotate those types of images, the user will need to use an image editing program that fully supports their RAW codec.
    Regards,
    Linda
    I am using Win 7 x64 Ultimate RTM and still have this problem (with JPG's dumped from my Nikon to the hard drive).  Doesn't do it on every one that I rotate, but still very annoying.  Is there a fix?

  • Cannot Save File.  File is Locked

    Good morning.  I just downloaded the Cloud CS6 and am working with Fireworks. I saved a PNG file then later went back to modify and now cannot save the file.  I am trying to save as with a png extension but keep getting the message cannot save file.  File is locked.  I have read several of the forums but can't seem to resolve by myself.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    did you create the file, or is it coming from a the shared folder, and was (perhaps) created by another user?
    I ran across a similar error with a (text edit) file created by another user.
    Opened just fine, but when I edited it, then selected Save,
    it failed to save.
    Selected Save As... and used the same name and location, the file as expected.

  • The image cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

    I am receiving the error
    The image [imagename] cannot be displayed, because it
    contains errors.
    when trying to view an image in firefox that was uploaded via
    CFFILE. IE returns a broken image. This is happening on 2 seperate
    sites. I can download the images and open them locally and
    everything seems to be fine. Many other images have also been
    uploaded to the same sites using cffile with no rpobelm.
    Can anyone shed any light on this or has anyone had the same
    experience?
    thanks!

  • I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps.  I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of A

    I am in the middle of a job using CS 6, but at the same time opening the Creative Suite apps.  I created an InDesign file in CS 6, saved it, and now I can't open it. I'm getting this message: Cannot open file because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign CC (10.1). You must use that version or later to open the file." AARRGGHH! So how do I access the file?

    Sounds like you opened and saved it in CC, so now you need to go back to CC and either complete the project there, or export to IDML to take it back into CS6.

  • Why do pages that consist solely of a jpg or png result in the message that the image cannot be displayed because it contains errors?

    Whenever I click on URL links to pages that consist solely of a jpeg or png, I get a text-only message 'the image cannot be displayed because it contains errors'. Yet if I copy the same URL and try it in IE, the image displays just fine. This has been happening for some time, thru several upgrades of Firefox.

    That is the default text that Firefox displays on a tab.<br />
    As soon as the image has loaded then that text is replaced by the image.
    If you keep seeing that text then something is blocking images.
