anonyroot Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Great Kudos for the wealth of information on this site.I am having the problem of finding any reference in putting the installation iso into more than one compact disk (CD). I have used the search button over the past 2 days with no luck of finding the subject. The quick solution is to burn it to an DVD. I have been successful in the DVD world. My reasoning for forcing my XP install to go on compact disks instead of DVD's is that I still have one desktop and one laptop both running with CDRW drives in my home. Compact disks just makes a little more on the ease of admin'ing these older machines.Community, if you can please assist me out this I would greatly appreciate it. Even a point [link] in the right direction would be a world of help.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 See here:http://www.msfn.org/board/burn-900-mb-cd-t56028.htmlhttp://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopic=16068If the size is very near to 700 Mb, a 700Mb "normal" CD (as opposed to the 650 Mb ones) may be overburned a little.If it's noticeably bigger than 700 Mb buy a bigger CD, or reduce the source.How do you manage to get to 700 Mb?I mean, there may be parts that are not "optimized" or maybe you have "duplicates" files.http://www.msfn.org/board/make-cd-take-dat...pid-771290.htmljaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-force Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Maybe nLite is your solution to shrink your XPCD.Just give it a try: http://www.msfn.org/board/nlite-f89.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 you can trim quite a bit off XP without using nlite. see this for more info:http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/57/if DVD isnt an option you could look into install from USB 1-2gb USB drives are super cheap these days if your bios can boot from themhttp://www.msfn.org/board/install-xp-usb-f157.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
