How much space do you actually have available on your HD?
!

I'm running only iChat but even if I quit every single programme, something still accesses the hard disk. (as stated before it's a non user process that's accessing the hdd)

Well, I reformatted the entire hard disk and make a clean reinstall of the os yesterday, so... (nothnig to do with restarting or repairing permissions)

I have 53 gigs available space.


And it's definitely the hard disk clicking because it syncronises with a peak in red in the Activity monitor disk access.

No firewall and definitely no one's trying to access me. (and the problem persists even if I unplug everything)
