Windows 10: DVD-RW - "There is not enough space available to perform the operation"?

Hello,

I have a file on a CD-ROM, which I would like to delete now, because obviously the memory of the CD is not enough after all, that is, if I extend the file now, and it is the ZIP version of a software, I am a computer scientist. Since I'll probably be using a storage platform on the Internet anyway, I thought I'd delete the ZIP so I wouldn't have to throw away the CD. But Windows does not allow me to do that, and brings me the following message:







My operating system is Windows 10, is there any way around this? Didn't find anything on Google. I'll just throw the CD away.

Kind regards

Edit: It is a DVD RW, not a CD-ROM. Please excuse the incorrect naming.

SATA DVD-RW Drives

Hey Guys,

So, I finally just bought my new rig: EVGA A1 Mobo (w/ 6 SATA Slots), 2 WD Raptors (SATA - Gonna RAID 0 Boot), 4 Seagate 320GB Barracuda's (SATA - Gonna RAID 5 Storage).
However, I realized I also bought 2 DVD-RW drives, in SATA *Eek! not enough SATA ports on the mobo...

So a couple of questions follow:
1) Is SATA really faster for DVD-RW drives than IDE?
2) Is there anyway to Inline/Series the (2) SATA DVD-RW drives, kinda like you do with IDE (Master/Slave)?
3) Are there any SATA-->IDE reverse adaptors (not the opposite, I know those exist)?
4) Based on the above answers, should I:

• a) Get a PCI-E SATA RAID Card to Handle One of the RAID Arrays, and keep the DVD-RW drives as SATA? (although those are dang expensive, AND I don't know where that PCI Card is gonna fit - got an 8800gtx, PCI Slot-Cooler, Wifi card... an extra slot but no room down there)
• b) Return the DVD-RW SATA drives and get (2) IDE DVD-RW drives?
• Another option that won't require me spending a lot of money?

Eesh, I'm kinda stuck on my build if I don't have a CD Drive to read from for Windows Install(I don't have any extra ones sittin around - and I want to install my RAID 5 Storage array right away)

Suggestions?*Confused

 

External DVD/RW not recognized withWindows 10

Hi Jenny,

 

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.



This circumstance can occur if the device hardware fails or if the device driver fails.



I suggest you to uninstall the Universal Serial Bus Controller
associated with the external DVD/RW (Cnm) and reinstall it from the manufacturer’s website and check if it helps.



To uninstall the drivers from device manager follow the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X and click on
  Device Manager.
• Expand Universal Serial Bus Controller.
• Find the Cnm DVD/RW drive.
• Right click on the driver and select Uninstall.

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have any further related query.



Thank you.
