text: nero is "eating" my hd capacity, on copying dvd's, any cures? every time i use nero to copy a dvd, i loose hd space. i always say noto save. i suppose you are having only one drive, that is dvd burner. when you burn a dvd, an image file of the whole dvd is created on your hard drive, and the contents are burnt from that image file to the blank dvd. once the burning is completed (in the blank disc), the image file is automatically deleted from your hard-drive. so, just wait until the dvd is burnt for your image file to be deleted.
