Question

I have everything done with my photos. I organized them, I put them in the file on the computer. Now I wanna burn them. I wanna burn them on my DVD-RW disc 800 mb. However , when clicking on the Burn button following message comes up.

Not enough hard dis space avaiable to complete burning operation. It is necessary to delete some temporary files to free disk space. Would you like to perform cleaning operation, while trying to burn movie with Photo DVP maker on a CD-R? Why is this doing this? I am frustrated. Cause I FOllowed every step possible. It's just this one step away from having the perfect movie. Please can you advice me what I must do? Thank you sincerely to all who answer me. Greetings from Utah/USA.

NEW:
Did you try the Disk Cleanup program? That might work for now.
As for your question, yes, you can get an external USB hard drive. You plug it in and install the driver for it. Are you using a laptop?
An internal hard drive for a desktop computer would be cheaper, although it obviously would not be portable.
If you have a desktop, you can still keep your old hard drive and install another. Installing a new hard drive isn't too difficult, but you can always get the store you bought it from to install it for you. They will install the drive, and partition & format the drive for you.

Your burner program needs to create at least 1 temporary file in order to burn your stuff to your DVD disc. The error message you get is because you don't have enough free space on your hard drive.
I guess you'll have to buy a new hard drive. If you have multiple partitions on your hard drive, see if the DVD program can change the location of the temporary files that it creates.
The default is usually in a folder in drive C:

To see how much free space you have on drive C:, double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop and double click on the Drive C: icon.
Right click on an empty space in the window and click Properties. I'd recommend having at least 2 gigabytes of free hard drive space. The space required by DVD writing programs sometimes varies with the amount of data that you're tranferring.

Addition:
To delete old unnecessary files, you can run the Disk Cleanup program. Click the Start button, and look in All Programs|Accessories|System Tools.

Well first of reading the answers that have been given already they all seem to miss the point of the question. Also your question when read does not make real sense. When you say "I have you express burn program and windows movie maker but the dvd cannot find them" exactly what do you mean. As it reads you seem to be expecting the DVD player to find these 2 programs and of course it wont as it can not understand them as it is presumably a READ only device. What you will have to do is first to check the video formats the DVD player will support. Then anything you burn to disk will have to be in one of the supported formats. The better way is to actually make DVD videos from whatever files you have, as this will be supported by the player without any issues. For the software then Nero from version 7 upwards is a good way to go as this will create the DVD from your files, complete with menu if required, and then burn it to a DVD disk assuming you have a DVD writer in your PC system. If the files you have are not supported by Nero then you will need to convert them to a supported format.
