DISK FULL WARNING, WHY?

i getting message "scatch disk full" went , got brand new external drive.

in preferences, box have checked cs5 use scratch disk new external drive.

that external drive solely being used cs5 has solved scratch disk full problem, but...........

apparently c: drive still being used somehow because warning dangerously running low on space.

i assume if new external drive/scratch disk tapped out, same old original message "scratch disk full".

what going on here? why need space when new external has 300gb dedicated solely cs5?

if cs5 using external drive scratch disk, using additional 35gb of space on drive has operating system?

i have 15gb of pagefile/swapfile space set aside on c:

neither 15gb pagefile, nor 35gb of free space should getting consummed.

i can understand used somewhat, purposes program use them for, consuming them not understand.

thanks help

can please furnish info computer, , i/o sub-system? number of internal hdd's, size, speed, free space, , how have allocated them, useful.

 

thanks , luck,
