Couldn’t create temporary file.
I have a 1TB drive in my Mac Pro running Mavericks 10.9.4 and I went to disk utility to erase some free space on the drive. However I keep getting the error message:
Secure Erase Free Space failed
Secure erase Free Space failed with the error:
Couldn't create temporary file.
I Googled the error message and couldn't find anything. The error message is heaps unhelpful, it doesn't tell me why it couldn't create a temporary file or what I can do to fix it. Please help, it would be much much appreciated!
Mac Pro (Early 2008), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
