[Bug 256658] [NEW] Attempt to copy files to DVD+R DL failed with non-specific error

Binary package hint: nautilus

I tried to drag and drop (copy) a large, nested set of files and
directories to a DVD+R DL (Memorex).  This failed, once with an older
unused DVD and once with a brand new disk.  This is a serious bug, since
I must back up before fixing my dual boot Grub by reinstalling Hardy
Heron.  My current Hardy installation is part of an upgrade chain that
started with Feisty Fawn.

The error message box contains:  Error writing to disc
                                                      There was an error writing to the disc:
                                                      Unhandled error, aborting

My current Grub fails to  offer Vista (Longhorn) as an option, after
working successfully since Feisty  Fawn was first installed as a dual
boot.  The latest set up downloaded updates to Hardy  were the
approximate time of this failure.  Hardy seems to work fine, and I can
see my Vista files.  Thus, for me, this is an extremely urgent fix to
the bug preventing my download.

After dragging and dropping to  the DVD icon, the Writing Files to DVD
box appeared and, after checking out the files (2.3 G worth), offered
the option of "Write to DVD".  I accepted and the error box cited above
appeared almost immediately.

Note:  reinstalled Hardy Heron after making a new installation disk.
Installed without problem, lost files (fully backed up), but Grub
appeared with the Longhorn optional boot showing, so that solved the
problem.  The bug, however, remains to be fixed.

Please advise.
Thanks!
