Large cd's

lloyd101 · #1 20-06-2001, 10:48

A friend of mine gave me a cd with windows 2000 pro, server and advanced server on it.
When I right click the cd drive it says the cd is 468MB, but if I highlight all files on the cd and ##### the size it says 1.12GB.
I #####ed the entire cd and there are no dummy files and it appears that there actually is 1.12GB of data on the cd.
Dose anyone know how to make a cd this large

Are there any compressed files in there? I've heard of that some times till now but I think you'll be able to back it up without any problems.

There are no compressed files on the cd.
If I try to burn a copy with Direct CD it fails, I can only copy it on to 3 separate cd's.

is the cd burned or pressed? what burning programs have you tried and what is your burner???
Why are you so sure dummy files havent been used, they are not always so easy to spot!
also try nero drive mounter to ##### for multiple sessions on the cd.
