Hi, I am using Mac's time machine to back up to my smartdisk firelite model #FWFL80-N. Its 80G, as is my Mac's hard drive. usually Time Machine erases older back ups to make room for new ones, but I'm getting a message saying that there isn't enough space on my drive. It needs 70 or so and there is only 6.4 left on my firelite. So I dragged the older back ups to the trash leaving nothing on my firelite. I ejected the drive and then put it back in again, tried again and same thing happened. Its still saying there is only 6.4G of space left, even though I tossed everything out. How can I reset the firelite? Thank you! Stacey

First of all, did you Empty the trash?
If so, then Try a full erase with Disk Utility. It's in your Applications in the Utilities folder... ..
