Disk image needlessly split over multiple dvd's

Hi.

Does anyone know what might cause this: On a previous version of using disk imaging software (RSJ HD Image), on Windows XP Pro, the contents of a drive of up to 6gb could be compressed to fit on a single dvd. However, since installing a new copy of XP Pro SP3 and a couple of apps, even though the capacity of the drive partition is now <3.5gb, the same software (same version) now insists on writing the image to 3 dvd's!

This doesn't make any sense to me, since the entire contents of the partition should comfortably fit on a single dvd. I've been using this software for ages and I like it for a number of reasons:

  1. It's free for personal use;
  2. You can browse the contents of the image;
  3. It's quite reliable; and
  4. The image is bootable so the entire contents of the partition are recoverable in the event of disaster.

It's just a bit frustrating that for some reason since installing a new copy of xp pro on my machine that it feels the need to spread such a small partition over several dvd's.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
