Not enough information. Run this command in the Terminal.app (in
/Applications/Utilities/) and post the results: df -h

IIRC, your machine can hold more than one HD internally. You list 320 GB HD's,
but don't say how many or how much space is being used. If you also have ext
HDs available, post their numbers and sizes.
