Its just a bug due to I-Author's Win95 coding. The only way around it that I have found is to just change how much free space you have on your drive by adding/deleting some large files.

how much space do you need????????? i have 26gigs free and it didn't work.

Its not how much space you have that is the problem its that your free space has to be a certain multiple. It has to be a multiple of two or something, I'm not sure. I have two hard drives and between the two of them one almost always seems to work. When I keep getting the error I just move stuff from one drive to the other until it works.

i have hacked a .dll file that i-author uses to create the images, this fixes the problem, if anyone would like it let me know and i will put up a link where you can find it.

Please bear in mind that i havent tested it on any other pc other then my own so it may/may not work 100%, but i cant see why it shouldnt fix this problem with everyone elses pc's.

yeah put it up i'll test it out nothing to lose right now

Basically this replacement .dll creates the image file without checking for diskspace so make sure you have enough HD space for the disc image otherwise i dunno what will happen. :D

Im not sure this is the correct .dll i modified, let me know if it doesnt work :)

To use this .dll simply replace this with the one in your i-author directory.

Can you let me know how if it works ok for you?
