Problem with space for burning, help?

[mikehende]

All of a sudden I am getting an error message in NeroVisionExpress3 concerning not enough space in the Temp folder, can anyone take a look at the attached image and advise me please?

Purchase a bigger Hard drive.

I have a second bigger hard drive which I use to store music and videos but looking for a way to correct this.

Actually, I don't know what's going on here, when the prompt first came up and I checked the C drive, it read 660mb free so I moved just one large folder of just over 1gb to the F drive and now when I look at the C drive it reads 8gb free, totally confusing but now Nero works again without the prompt. To sum this sum, I am thinking the C drive went down to a low amount of free space and this is what caused this problem so what's the easiest thing I can do to prevent this from happening in the future?

You can try having Windows store its swapfile (virtual memory) on a different drive/partition with plenty of space. I'm not sure about XP/2K, but under Win9X/ME, I believe the recommendation was to have at least twice the amount of space available as you have physical RAM in the system, for the swapfile (changing from a temporary swapfile to permanent was also recommended, but I don't know if that applies to XP/2K as well). Of course, more space available for the swapfile never hurts.

I'm not sure if you can change the location where Nero stores its tempfiles, but similar recommendations apply here - you should try to keep at least somewhere more than twice the size of the material you're trying to burn on the drive where the tempfiles are stored, just to be safe. Keep in mind, though, that that's primarily a recommendation, and may be less of an issue with some burning software over others.

Since you said you have a larger hard drive I might suggest you rip, edit, and process your burns using that larger drive if you have the room. Your C: drive more than likely uses your OS and with only 8GB of space you will need to defrag this drive more than regular for optimum performance.

Tell Nero to use your other drive as temp space.

Purchase a bigger Hard drive.

Use a drive copy program to copy the content of the C: drive to the new drive. Then replace your old drive with the new bigger hard drive. If your C:drive is that full you realy need a bigger drive.

I went into NVE's config and routed ALL temp and output files to the F drive so this should take care of everything.
