There is a problem burning this disck

There is a problem burning this disk.
This disk does'nt have enough free space for all selected files.
Those are the two statements I get everytime I try to download my files to a disk. I tryed to reconfigure .net framework in my 'turn win on and off'. Also tried to reconfigure ATI Catalyst in some ways. Both to no avail.
Anything you pass would be appreciated. I am flustrated and about to do the unholy and wipe eveything out and start all over. I would loose everything and don't wish to go there. Thank you.

Neither of the things you tried have anything to do with disk burning. What are your system specs, what type of disk are you trying to burn on, what are you using to burn with?

Also, what exactly are you trying to burn? And what is the total size of the data that you want to put in a disk?

By the description of your problem and what you have done to troubleshoot the problem I'm assuming that you are a complete amateur (not meant as an insult), so I have to ask the question, are you trying to put more data on a disk than it can fit?

+1^ brings up a good point here, how much data are you trying to move to the disk and what type of disk is it?

Thanks for the reply; Yes, I am a new one. I have avoided computers because of an already busy life. They are unavoidable and now I am thrust with a couple of difficulties. I own an Inspiron 1546 Lappy with win 7 HP, 64bit-2.2-4G-320HD. I use it for personal w/media. I have an extensive listing now that I need to put in disk,(s). I have isolated segments to alow plenty of room for the Sony DVD-RW 4.7G disks. Some data, others photo's ect.. The ATI and .Net was for the win that has 'MOM implimentation' ,(not solved yet). I make sure I have enough space....Yet. Just MOM implimentation and disk downloading. No other problems.

How are you trying to copy the files over to the disk? Have you tried another disk?

Here is what I would do:

Put a disk in, go to My Computer and open it, drag a single file into it (a picture) and click Burn to Disc (toward the upper left).

Personally, I wouldn't use the option "Use it like a USB drive".

Also, I don't think you answered hang-the-9's question: What software are you using to burn it? Are you letting Windows burn it, or do you have a 3rd party piece of software installed? (Nero, Roxio, etc).
