40gig isn't very much, I use a 120gig just for video work. A movie in RB/CCE can take up 15g's easy,do it in batch mode with 3 or 4 movies and you're looking at 60g's easy.

If you reformat you're still going to have limited space cos your OS is working off of it too.

You can burn on the fly and get by with what you have, but I think the best solution is to add another HD-80g's is plenty and not too expensive-40 to 80 bucks depending on what you get. You could even get an external drive and just plug it in one of your USB 2.0 or firewire ports(depending what you have).

example- I just bought a Seagate internal 80g HD for 35.00 (with rebate)at Best Buys. I then bought an external USB 2.0 casing for 20.00 which I put the HD in and voila, an external 80g HD for 55.00!

Like I said you can always burn on the fly til you get another HD.

I can PM you a guide for shrink 3.2 and/or Nero recode that I wrote to help newbies get started using the "on the fly" method if you like.

Even on FAT 32 partitions, the new version of Shrink can save .MDS images, breaking the VOB files into 1gb portions. Decryptor recognizes .MDS as an image file and can burn to blank DVD. I have tried this on WinME system/FAT 32 HD and it worked well. Make sure Decryptor settings under the Tools, Settings, Registry tab has the check mark in the MDS box. Set Shrink to save as image and use Decryptor to burn.
