I'm pretty sure I need 4gig to author and burn dvd's with Nero but I'm putting this query in here just to make sure. Elsewhere I'm querying about making space on a HDD with an XP installation - slimming down XP. Because all I've got to work with currently is a compaq EVO with a 10gig HDD and I've only been able to find barely 3gig of free space on it so far. Sequoia view makes it look like that's about all I'm going to find, too. I need some radical new ideas about how to go about it... regards, ab
