It might need a lil room to build a cache, but it shouldnt be building an image to burn from if its coming straight off the HD.

Try to run a disk cleanup (start > programs > acessories > system tools > Disk cleanup).

After thats done run the Defrag program (Start > programs > acessories > system tools > disk defragment)

Run those two programs, then restard ur computer.
I think he's probably got his DVD burning program set up to create an image before he burns, which is a terrible thing for those with small hard drives (I'm in the same boat).

My advice to him is to make certain Nero is set up to burn the DVD "on the fly", or whatever the option is to not create an image before burning (I never had Nero when I was a Windows user, so I don't know where to tell him to look for this setting). I never have enough room for a DVD image to be created on either one of my partitions, yet I've had no problems trying to burn DVDs so far.
