i think it doesn't really work. The .inf files should be always uncompressed. If you want to compress the other files (.dll, .sys etc.) you must modify the [sourceDisksNames] section in the .inf files.

Or you can compress each file seperatly without any other modification (like the files with _ in I386 folder).

do this

for /f %i in ('dir /b') do makecab %i

delete the original files EXCEPT the .INF you need. Delete the compressed .IN_ as it will be useless. You should end up with the same number of files, but requiring lot less space. Nothing else is required.
