lesbaxby Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I have this programme on my computer, I have tried to use it to copy some DVDs which I had stored on my computer as backups, however, it made one DVD and now it's saying my HDD is to full. What can I do to resolve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sccsux Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 What can I do to resolve this? Delete some crap from your HD:D.. Delete all the stuff in the windows Temp directory, IE/FF cache should also be emptied. Search your PC for "*.bak; *.tmp; *.$$$, *.old; *.bak" and delete them:thumbsup:.

xircon Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Its probably made an iso type file (name depends on program you used) before burning to dvd. Delete it if you are happy the dvd contains all files you specified. Use a program like treeview or sequoia (think I spelt it right duh) to view your disk and isolate really big files.

the_mandarin Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 You might also want to empty your Recycle bin, as it contains files that you have already discarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melthebell Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 a dvd could be anything between 1.5gb and 5gb large, generally normally cache files are created....ie a file of the thing your copying before it gets copied, if it worked, find and delete the cache file. although if your drives full it dont sound like you have a very big hard drive, could be best to buy and fit a second hard drive....anything over 40gb id personally go for 80 or above depending on how much space you may need.....i always need lots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savannah2 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Use CCleaner to free up hard drive space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 How do I do this? Sorry for appearing stupid. it could be anywhere, depends where your copying / burning program sticks it, normally theres a menu option telling it where to create it. you can look through my computer / c: drive to find it (although as i dont know what the file name would be i cant help locate it ) if you do know what the file name is you can use start/search to find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
