It may or may not indicate a failing drive in this case.

More than likely just indicates a drive that has been stuffed to the gills and can take no more.

The disk needs a certain amount of freespace n order to function. You are about at the limits percentage-wise. Actually, with that error message, sounds like you are AT the limit.

Try running Disk Cleanup and then Defrag on it first. This will likely take some time.

Trying to put all of the RealTracks plus program onto the older 80gb USB drive is not recommended, there will be too little free space left for the drive to function properly and that can be a recipe for disaster as well. This is why the new program ships on a 160gb drive instead.

Of course, purchase of a larger capacity USB drive would cure all ills for you.
