Hi Tony,

We are sympathetic to your cause, but without more information helping
you is really hard. Please consult the posting guide:

PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

for some more hints.

regards,
Paul

ps This question might be more suitable for R-sig-geo
ps2 You could use the raster package to analyse the data on the harddrive (not reading all data in from disk)
