I don't understand why your burning prog wants 730Mb of temp space. Are you
trying to copy a CD? In which case, what's the total size of the files on
the CD?
All I can think of is that you're running low on drive space. Although
folders are virtually open-ended and bottomless, they're still limited by
the amount of free space on the hard drive.
And your CDRW drive and software must be fairly old and limited in their
available settings.
Modern CDRW drives can record at more than 40x, and modern burning software
is set up to handle that kind of speed.
And although current software sports several different proprietary
technologies like 'BurnProof', for recording direct from CD to CDR, I still
think it's safer to copy to hard drive first, as your software has directed.
