Warning Error In DVD-A while trying to prepare file?

I am trying to prepare a file to burn in DVD-A. When it asks me to which file I
would like to prepare the file, I choose and then I get a warning mesage:

WARNING: An error occured while writing to file.
The item was not found.

I think the problem is that I installed a new 120 gig harddrive to use soley as
a "files only" drive for all of my avi's, mpeg's etc. I moved a lot of files around
and did a basic cleanup of my old drive etc. etc. etc.

So, what do you think the problem is???

Thanks in advance.

Seems to be something funny with DVD-A. I just make a new directory and everything is fine.

First, I'd suggest uninstalling and then reinstalling DVD-A. DVD-A may be missing some necessary components.

Thanks SonicSDB, I uninstalled and re-installed the DVD-A program it worked!

It created a folder called MYDVD on my C:\ drive, I started to prepare to that folder
and it worked so I cancelled and moved that MYDVD folder to my new 120 gig. F:\ drive
and again started to prepare to that folder and guess what? IT WORKED!

So, I think that during install DVD-A creates that folder AND, I think that when
the programmers created DVD-A they must have placed in a function that makes DVD-A
specifically look for the MYDVD folder in order to prepare to that folder AND if DVD-A can't find the folder it gives me the error message.

Again, Thanks for your quick response!!!!
