    Where's the other 10GB of my hard disk ?!!?

    Actually, I have already downloaded a "hard disk managing" utility from the manufacturing website, and I even try to perform a zero-filling which is practically a low-level format.

    Nero question.

    I encounter this problem before but that's quite some time ago, the message happened when you choose to save the image to burn later. Try selecting a different CD ROM from the recorder tab and make sure you're selecting the correct drive. Try using the wizard for hassle free burning.
