No_Style Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 My XP-DVD has a lot of useful applications (Office 2007 + Visio + Project, Antivirus, VMWare, Nero etc etc..) The total file size is approximately 3.86 GB. I will be honest, and say that I did not optimize the Office install with the shrinker or anything. Vista is approximately 2.5 GB. Probably not enough for all my stuff on a regular DVD-RW.My question is, how are you guys getting around that problem of space constraints if you are encountering them?Reducing number of applications?Bumping to DVD9s (and not use RWs)?Perhaps even use an external USB drive for just the applications (If it was possible).

MAVERICKS CHOICE Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 No probs so far,You can use a usb pen drive for drivers & applications.Run your apps from another cd or dvd,Run your apps from a share,Use VLite to reduce the Source.Mine on average is under 3gig on one dvd & does the job for mine very well.

maxXPsoft Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 or fortunately I have the option of dual layer which you mentioned as DVD9sWhen that happened with xp before the dual I just added Dual CD to the UXP application which worked out ok.Your situation changes weekly if not monthly or it does for me so the size shouldn't matter, adjust as needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
