If I were you I'd attempt to navigate to some MP3 files or similar trash-able stuff and delete it to make space. Otherwise I have no idea what to tell you. Good luck, man. Sorry it took me so long to reply - my computer's in the shop AGAIN. :-( Let us know how it goes. David…that sucks.

Good lord what do I do now? Help?

Yeah. In self-defense, I didn't realize it was a system update. I thought I'd just authorized download of the updates for iTunes, etc. Surprise. Heh. Yeah. It should be noted, however, that this can happen to anyone regardless of precautions that you take. The flaw zeros out files on your HDD - so sometimes it'll booger up individual programs and sometimes it'll prevent you from booting. Prebinding. Gotta love it.
