Hey all
Before I couldnt open any Windows OS, now I cant open Finder in Mac... Any solutions, everytime I boot up it says "your startup disk is full" and wont open Finder, which means I cant clear anything!

I restarted and iTunes is one of my Log In items, that opened which inevitably got the menu bar showing, from the Menu bar I went into System Preferances, went into Users>Jeremy>Log In Items, and then I selected "Macintosh HD"
I restarted again, it went into Macintosh HD, and from there I could find the file that was filling up my Hard Drive, which was causing Finder not to open in the first place, and then deleted it... Then I just kept restarting until finally I managed to get the dock running, still no desktop image or anything though, and I opened trash, deleted the big file. Restarted again, everything was back to normal. It was a long process, and probably not done the right way, but its working now. Oh yeah, in all this I lost my XP & 7 Partitions... They half got corrupted during that whole thing... So I gave up on that idea and just deleted all of my Partitions exept EFI boot and Macintosh HD, using Linux Fedora Live, and then turned the free space into a FAT32 file system... Back into Mac, used Disc Utility, deleted the Partition and extended my Mac over the old XP & 7 HDa
