Not enough space on C to burn a DVD

[Guest]

My C partition is just 17 gigabytes because it's dedicated to Vista ONLY. Is
there a way to change the default temporary directory from C to another hard
disk? Because there's not enough space for a DVD image file before burning it
onto a disc.

Thanks.

Maj,
Isn't there another partition?

Right click your DVD drive, select Properties, select the Recording tab,
choose a drive with sufficient free space in the drop down menu.

That's what I needed, thank you.

Hi Maj,

In addition to Jim:

Click start and type CONTROL SYSTEM, then click on advanced system settings.
On the advanced tab click the button for environmental variables. Under the
system block, scroll down to the Temp settings, click on them and then
'edit'. Change the path here. Repeat for the User temp folders, this should
keep the majority of the junk out of the system drive.
