jaap74 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 Hi, When I copy DVD's my C seems to get its space eaten up ! I changed the caching location to my E: but I can't find the files to delete on C:. Any idea where they should be ? I've look in Ahead/Nero under Program Files but no luck.......... Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 I thought the Nero caching was only temporary until you finish the project and exit out. You have a total of 600GB in harddrive storage and one 400GB, what the heck are you caching bro? Hmm....i'll check around for your issue.... Note: Which exact version of Nero are you running?

jaap74 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 my C: is 30GB with only 2GB left............. i'm using Nero 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 Then what are those harddrive listed in your Sig? You need to update it because i'm lost with what you really have and don't have. Anyway, are you saving the images on the drive and not deleting them? Images off a DVD-R or CD-R somewhere down the line. Do a search for .NRG which is one of the Nero image formats, you can also do a Disk Clean to clean any temp/cookies you have stored on your hd. The cache files are only temperary until you close the Nero app down. You shouldn't worry about the cache unless you specifically adjusted something for the Nero Cache that somehow is saving on to your harddrive. I would leave all those settings at default and see if you saved any images on your harddrive that you don't need and delete them....

red930 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 Do you get a low disk warning from Windows? How do you know your harddrive is running low on capacity? Go into "My computer" and right click on your main drive (C drive i assume) and go to properties, click on Disk Clean, and check every box and run that, while in there do you see any space taken from compressed files? See i'm not sure where you are getting the idea that Nero 6 is saving the cache when the cache is only there to store the data you're burning or extracting. Your harddrives are in Raid and they state 300GB? So it's actually 30GB? hmm...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red930 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 So you're using RAID for backup (Secondary) and running the 400GB as secondary but have a 30GB partition from the 400GB? C:30GB (partition from the 400GB) and D: is your whatever is left from your partition off the 400GB, and E: is your RAID? Something like that right, anyhow you need to look elsewhere because NERO is not saving the Cache anywhere permenantly, but only termperarly. Have you tried my suggestion above?

Have you tried my suggestion above? yeah did the disc cleanup with Norton.... now I have 5.85GB free....... FYI here's the whole deal re my drives : 2 x 300GB in RAID0 C: 30GB - Windows (in hindsight too small) D: 20GB - Software E: 509GB - Music/Video/Docs 400GB Backup IDE H: 373GB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 How did you manage to partition two drives in Raid configuration, that's impossible. Are you even sure you're running raid, because there are only two types of common raid configuration users use, Mirrioring (for backup and security) and strip (for performance). Mirrior would only have both drives recognized as 300GB since it's a mirrior on each drive and strip would add both harddrives capacity together so it would be 600GB. You can't partition like that, i don't even think you're running raid, it doesn't work that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaap74 Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 jeeeeeeeeeezus............ i have 3 physical hard drives.......... the 2 x 300GB SATA drives are in RAID0........ the 400GB drive is NOT !! understand ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
