using hard drive space

Hi there Jaddams.

Thanks for your response, I will try to give some info which hopefully will be of some use.

The PC runs at 1200 mhz using Athlon processors and 256mb ram, I am using Windows ME, I have, as far as I am aware, stopped everything running in the background, I even turn of my cable modem so there is nothing interfering from that quarter.

The error messages indicate that a certain sector was not read (due to lack of resources I think it says), the last disc this happened on it had actully recorded 18 of the 19 tracks and it failed on the 19th, the other 18 tracks played perfectly.

When that error message comes on screen I have found that it is best to hit my PC's reset button there and then cause if I don't within a few more keystrokes the PC will lock up. This means of course that the computer does a "scandisc" test before it comes back on as it was not shut down properly and of course the disc I was duplicating has to be read again, by the way Microstudio is reading at 40x and writing at 6x although it is quite capable at reading and writing at much higher speeds with the spec of my PC, I have written at 16x with no problems.

Is that lot of any use?
