You might be able to recompress the files on the entire XP CD using makecab at a higher compression setting. Otherwise, you could use 7-zip installers for all of the extras on your CD.

What all extras do you have on your cd?

Thankx foe replying guyz,

but i want to create 3 windows cd and few softwarez in it,

but it goes over 700 mb and i was asking if you could pack the

over data into exact 700 mb iso,so it could b burned into cd.

Well, you can compress an .ISO with WinRAR. However, you wont be able to boot and/or network install from this file.

The only solution for your problem, is burning the .ISO to a DVD.

Data can only be compressed so much.

If you tell us what's on your CD, we might be able to help you find ways to shrink down each of the parts to make it all fit.

Windows Xp Home Edittion

Windows 98 &

You have a multi-boot CD. Telling that from the beginning (or posting in the Multi-boot section of the forums) would have cleared up a lot of questions. (I missed that part in your previous post)

You've got the advantage of having XP Pro and Home on the CD. There are many common files between the two, so CDImageGUI will be able to optimize the CD. It won't compress things, but it'll help lower the size of the final ISO.

Look here for more information.

The best way to learn is to try it yourself.
