Tapan,
The Windows versions of Gaussian can't use a file bigger than 2GB.
There is a trick which allows you to use more than one file for I/O operations.
BEFORE the line beginning with "#", add the following line:
%rwf=r1,240mw,r2,240mw,r3,240mw,r4,240mw,r5,240mw,r6,240mw,r7,240mw,r8,-1
Even with this line included (it tells Gaussian to split the read-write file
into eight pieces of 240 megawords i.e. (8 x 240)MB), there is still a limit of
16GB total disk space usage.
Hopefully the next edition of Gaussian will not have these limitations, but for
now we are stuck with them.

Sent to CCL by: "Tapan Gupta" [tapanjames]-[yahoo.com] Dear Users,
There is a problem. I have completed Opt+Freq Calculation using RHF and
DFT(B3LYP) on a 14 atom problem which took 19 and 43 minutes respectively. When
I am performing the same Opt+Freq Calculation using MP2 level of theory it gives
the following messege in the output file after 2 Hrs, 34 minutes.
Transformation cannot fit in the specified MaxDisk.
Pls note that this messege comes in the output file after the optimization is
complete and freq calc starts. I am not sending the other details because I
think that this problem is related to Disk Space possibly. All the
calculations using RHF and B3LYP level of theory have been completed
successfully.
After this I increased the memory from default 6MW to 400 MB and default
Diskspace from 2000 MB to 8000 MB. After doing this the "Transformation
cannot fit in the specified MaxDisk" error was gone but again the
calculation stopped and the output file shows the following at the end.
Inv2: IOpt= 1 Iter= 1 AM= 3.09D-15 Conv= 1.00D-12.

Can anybody pls tell me that what type of this error is?, why it is coming? ,
and what is the remedy for it. I am using Win XP and Gaussian 03 for Windows
Please help me. Thanks in advance.
