Vista - INSUFFICIENT TEMPORARY FILE SPACE

Can anyone help me? I have a 2420 Acer TravelMate Laptop. I am trying to make
up to date recovery disks. The recovery disk that I have are out of date they
do not have all the programs that I use now, also when I first got my laptop
it was fat and I changed it to ntfs. So when I have had to run disk recovery
it take a long time to my laptop back to how I want it.
When I try to make recovery disk I get a message saying. (disk E)
insufficient temporary file space to execute burn function.
Can anyone explain what this means and how I can fix it.
Thank you.

When you burn to a disk it store the files your hard disk first, so you need
to make sure you have enough space on the laptop - use disk clean up and
maybe remove files/programs you don't need/use... another alternative is to
compress your laptop drives (or parts thereof) - right click in windows
explorer and select properties to see the compress option.

Hi Mac thanks for answering my question, I have done a disk clean up and
there is 10 GB of space in the back up drive so I donot think its a question
of enough space in the hard drive. Any more ideas, Thanks for help.

Since creating a recovery disk is a function provided by the computer maker
you might want to contact the computer's tech support.
