Hi,

I'm trying to run this on a PowerBook running Leopard. When I try to run either of the AppleScripts, I get the error:

"System Events got an error: AppleEvent handler failed."

For the diagnostic script, it fails on the line 

tell application "System Events" to set vols to name of every disk whose free space is not 0

and the bolded part is highlighted. So something's up with that name noun, but I don't know how to fix it.

Thanks

Hi, Technical Machine,

Thanks for the bug report, and sorry for the late reply. I'm travelling at the moment.

My guess is that the problem lies with this part: 
whose free space is not 0

Test what happens if you take that bit out. If that resolves the problem, I'll put out an update soon to take care of the issue in a more permanent way.

Thanks again for the bug report.

Jon
