To capture to a 60gb hdd, you'd need 26gb free for temp file and saved file,
plus the 10% free or 6 gb, so your drive should have at least 32gb free,
preferabbly more.

Your 9gb is getting close to the limit for safety when saving as wmv at 1gb,
so I'd suggest cleaning up some space and tying again first.
