Hi :) Is the Ubuntu side full-up? If you open a folder to look at the documents inside then the menus at the top of the file-browser allow you to tick
View - "Status bar" Then the status-bar at the bottom of the window shows how much empty space there is on the Ubuntu drive/partition that you are trying to save the file into. It might be worth emptying the wastebin and if you open your email client then empty the wastebin in there to. Also which folder are you trying to save into? It should be fine in "Documents" or another suitable folder but some system folders are protected.

I use the word processor extensively. Frequently, when working on a document in Writer, I get a "cannot write to disk" error. Subsequently, I cannot save in any other program. For example, if I open a text editor and copy the text to a new file, I get the same error message. This happens more often when operating on battery power than when using A/C. If I do not reboot right away, I will get a total system failure. If that happens before exiting Writer, the document I am working on becomes corrupted. This only happens when I am using LO in Ubuntu. This never happens in WinXP or Win7. I haven't observed this trouble in any of the "live distros" I've played with. Much to my dismay, I have noticed that Win can be a little more forgiving of some hardware issues than Ubuntu. I don't have Win on this netbook, but I never had any problems when it was installed. How can I tell if this problem is related to LO, Ubuntu or hardware?
