DVD copying not working anymore

Hello all,
I hope someone can shed some light on this problem. I have a Dell 4600
which I use for making and copying DVDs. Before anyone hammers me for
copyright infringement, these burns and copies are just digital photos
which my ENTIRE family now brings to me to burn to CD and DVD and then
copy the burns to share.
Previously, I could do this with no problem, but for the last week or
so, I have been getting a lock-up at 30% copy which requires a reboot
to get out of. This is during the process of actually copying the
initial DVD to disk; not the actual burn of the copy to a new DVD. I
have a 200 GB hard with 180 Gigs free, so space is not the problem.
This problem occurs both with Roxio and DVD Express.
Any thoughts on where I should look for the cause?
Thanks for any ideas anyone can give me.

If the OS is WinXP, check event viewer logs for disk-related errors, and
do the chkdsk /f as well. Also, run disk cleanup. When temp internet
files are full, it becomes impossible to work with jpg images.
