Why is there so much disk activity during rendering?

POV-Ray Mac: Mac FAQ
There are two possible reasons. The obvious one is that you have virtual memory enabled and because ray-tracing can consume a lot of memory the System runs out of physical memory and starts swapping memory to the harddisk. The other possible reason is that you have the preview enabled. The preview creates an image buffer on the disk. You can set the image buffer size in memory by adjusting the slider "Image buffer cache rows" in the Preview tab of the Render Settings dialog.

Why did my large hard disk shrink to 128 gigabytes after running DBAN?

Darik's Boot and Nuke FAQ
The Microsoft Windows installation media that you are using only has ATA-5 support, which has a 128 gigabyte limit. The operating system installer must have ATA-6 support to use all of a disk that is larger than 128 gigabytes. The solution is to reinstall with Windows 2000 SP4 media or Windows XP SP1 media. If you do not have recent Microsoft Windows media, then research a "windows slipstream install" for instructions about how to create it.

How much hard disk space is required?

Installation and Upgrade
You can probably cram the basics (i.e. base and etc distribution sets) into 80 MB or less, but here are some words of wisdom from Bill Studenmund (wrstuden@loki.stanford.edu): 100 meg would get you going for a root partition, but depending upon the toys, you'll want more. My setup is ~100 Meg for my root partition, and ~350 Meg for my USR partition.
