Problem 1: no disk space (just how small is D:?)
resolution: free up some space it will cause serious problems unless fixed
problem 2: the burning software bundled with XP is weak and in flexible
resolution: third party burning software, roxio has never given me major problems
and many people like nero
XP should store the image where you tell it to
On the one occasion that I used it, it used my specified folder
But your badly short on space if 650M trips the warning
All program load files into system folders regardless of where you put their program
files
As it your system is in need of some serious trimming if you want it to run at all
But you're going to need more space on the system drive in the future regardless
of how much you trim it down
Good luck you're gana need it, Adam Bradley
