when you try to save a complete web (which means including pictures and other embedded objects and not only HTML files) other elements of the page take up space with size larger than the capacity of the disk.

You will also get the disk full message if you have reached the maximum number of files that can be in a given directory.
The number varies by disk structure, but, I believe it is around 4K for most hard drives.

Or, if the folder was restored from a CD backup, and is set to read only status.
From Windows explorer, right click on the folder, and check the properties.
Verify that the attribute switch for read only is not checked.

Hi,

r u sure the error message is about full disk? Or, is it about "not enough memory" ?

In case of "not enough memory". The problem is with the type of file u r saving the contents to.
Especially, if it is a text file, then the data size can'e be much. So, try saving to some other format and test.

I would run scandisk on the drive and ensure that the fat and free space registries are ok. Whenever I get that problem, that usually fixes it up.

Good luck,
