I have tried everything from disk clean-up to removing programmes,when I put the dvd in to copy(as normal) the Red button comes up which would normally just start the burn,but now it says "There is not enough free space on your chosen drive,free up 0kbs of space"!! Help!!

have you tried deleting some big files like movies.
you will need to ba able to hold the dvd in a temp folder and this can take up quite a few gb of space

Junk is hidden all over your computer that you can get rid of.
1: Use Add/remove programs, and remove anything you nolonger use.
2: Use a good disc cleaner to clean the registry, temp folders etc

This is the Free Toniarts Easycleaner
3: To get that bit of extra space if your system is up to date and stable, you can delete the Windows Update files, but you need a program to do it.

and download "Remove Hotfix Backup"
As with anything, back it all up before, and create a resotre point just in case.
All this can free upto 5GB on a big well used drive.
Best of luck

The error is referring to your DVD media (i.e., DVD+R or DVD-R). There are different DVD's. DVD-5 is about 4.3GB, DVD-9 is about 9GB. DVD-9 is also called the dual layer DVD. If you are trying to copy a DVD-9 disc onto a DVD-5, you won't have enough room. The answer is to use a program called DVD Shrink. It will shrink the content of a DVD-9 to fit in a DVD-5 disc.

it probably creates temp files, which can be huge. do a search for them try c://tmp or look in the options of your copying program to see where it dumps them

you might have to format and start again.. try system restore... also download a thing called C~CLEANER, it gets rid of loads of junk... free from its own website... ccleaner.com
