How did you partition your drives?

Please open a terminal and post the output of
df -h

Post the output of fdisk -l command too.

df -h
su -
fdisk -l

* Its small L in fdisk -l.

result of df -h

[root@localhost ~]# df -h

/ partition has 4.8GB and /home has 47GB free space.

There is a lot of space in /home partition. In which location are you trying to save files?

[Lakshmipathi]

I guess you are trying to copy into /boot yes casper said,you have plenty of space left to store those 600BM in / or /home..

/dev/sda1 99M 15M 80M 16% /boot
