Hi,

Well, at long last I installed my new benq dw 1620 on my computer, upgraded and installed my nero to nero 6.6.0.1 (see earlier post on this issue) and can't burn a DVD! The problem, I believe is that I have one hard disk which is split into three partitions: the first partition (the C drive) is FAT 32 and is 8GB in size and has only 2GB free space (this partition is also a primary partition) - my Nero 6.6.0.1 is installed on this particular partition. The second partition (the D drive) is about 109 GB in size and is NFTS - it is a logical partion and contains only data and video files from my camcorder - and the third partition (the E Drive) is only 2GB and contains a ghost back up file. When I run Nero to copy a DVD, Nero says that I do not have enough space on my hard drive (obviously I don't have enough space in my C drive - but I have ample space in my second partition - the D drive). Consequently Nero will not burn/copy any of my DVD's - is there a work around this - if so, could someone please let me know -- many, many thanks. BTW, the disc that I experimented with has no CCS protection and is a disc that plays in all regions.

File -> Preferences -> Cache tab
tell it to cache files to the D drive.

very much so, but it's early days. My first burn was a coaster - I tried to burn, on the fly, from my toshiba dvd rom. My other burns were fine (around 92% on nero cdspeed - I overburned a TEAC 8x to 12 x). It's a good drive - but as with all toys - when you have a wife, three kids (one of whom is a baby) and a dog to worry about - it is hard to find free time to play with the toy - I do have some nero issues (hence my other post - coming soon...)
