CD-R Size

pp79wc · 20-August-04, 05:18 AM

I have an ISO that's 733 MB, but Nero says the burnable disk is too small. So, I tried using BlindWrite to burn it and it errored out. It said there was only 703 MB of space on the disk. How did they make a 733 MB ISO (an OS disk) when the disks only hold 703 MB of data? I also have another one that's 786 MB. I know there has to be a way to do this. Do companies like microsoft have access to disks that allow more than 703 MB of data? Have they come up with a way to use DVD+R disks for CD-R ISOs? That would explain how these larger ISOs get created. Anyone know how to get this ISO working on a disk or maybe where I can find large capacity CD-R disks?

Is it an actual .ISO file, or another Media Image format? I've burned several 720~800MB sized images to CD trouble free, the extra size is usually just allocation data required when the image is not in it's native CDFS.

You could try enabling Overburn as much as necessary in Nero, but I have never had to use it to burn images.
