MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / December 2007hard disk may be full - Error - Trying to publish Cd
Hello, If anyone could give me some help I would appreciate it. I'm doing a 100 slide PowerPoint presentation with an audio narration, the file size is 267 MB. I'm trying to publish the presentation with the publish to cd function with a password and I keep getting an error message that says: The files cannot be copied to the temporary folder because the hard disk may be full. Free up space on the hard disk, and then try packaging the files for CD again. I don't know if I have some settings set wrong or if I'm saving my audio the wrong way - I have 81gb of storage left on my hard disk - is there an option to increase my temporary folder storage??? Anyway, if anyone could help I would appreciate it thank you. Mike Hi, Depending on your operating system, go Start| Programs| Accessories| System Tools and run the disk clean up wizard. That should clear out temporary files no longer needed. Then if you still have trouble, please holler back.

I just tried running the clean up wizard on both my vista and my xp machines, however I still received the same error on both my desktop (vista) and my notebook (XP), Error Message: "The files cannot be copied to the temporary folder because the hard disk may be full. Free up space on the hard disk, and then try packaging the files for CD again." Also, I'm using powerpoint 2007. Thanks for the try!

If so, please use Package to folder and then use a CD burning program to burn the contents of the folder to a CD.

I was trying to burn directly to cd - I just tried burning to a folder like you suggested on both my xp and vista machines and they both said: "The files cannot be copied to the folder. Try to free up space on the hard disk, and then try again." I'm basically going to package for CD - Options - I add a password to both open and modify - check inspect presentation - click ok - then go to copy to folder. (I've tried it with linked files and without and received the same error.)

I may just try and break it up into two discs of 50 slides and see if that helps.

If you've used any special effects (glows, reflections, soft edges, etc.) on your photos, text, and other objects, PPT turns those into images when performing the backsave. This could result in a GINORMOUS file -- I mean, you might be looking at a gig or more. This is probably why it takes 7 minutes to load, also. So, while you may have space on your harddrive, I suspect PPT itself is struggling with this large file. You might be able to fool it by dividing the file into numerous files, each with 10-12 slides, and doing the package for CD process on each. Then you could open the first file and insert the slides from the remaining files into it and save so you have one complete file in the first package for CD folder. Of course, you want to look at all the other packaged folders and copy any linked files (aside from the ones the Viewer needs to run) into that first package for CD folder as well. Or you could work on reducing the file size to begin with. Why's it so big?
