  I’ve often had this same issue with Photoshop 7. In fact, I found your message because I was doing a Google search on this very problem. I was having the error when saving to an internal RAID that was connected to the motherboard ATA channels of a G4. I’m now having the same problem when saving to a G-Raid attached to a PCI FireWire-800 card. I can however save to boot drive.

  I don’t think I’ve had this problem with CS2… yet.

  Interesting. We are having a similar issue with Elements. Our district’s yearbook staff uses Elements and can save to a local drive, but not the network drive unless I gave them full control permission. When they had modify only they could save to the local drive then drag to the network drive. I wonder if there is a bug in the save routine?
