How To Make A Maxi Image?

[sylvio]

Okey okey.. I uses Total Commander, I unpacked the MaxiMI make the
WCompression, but in TC I was cannot see the RIGHT Compressed LENGTH
and (thah' very important) HDD Free LENGTH!! It was the TC's bug or not?

Anyway some days ago I write a method for that know programming a little.
How can make a MaxiMini-Image conception:
- Read the CloneImage .MDF and the file-structure/sub-dir's files
Also get/read the offsets for ALL the files (Start/End/Length in bytes what
that need)
- Get the file offsets in the MDF and put/fill Hex 00 TO ALL FILES at the
beginning (offsetStart) to the offsetEnd, this can be make FILE AFTER FILE

If anybody makes a Win32 Execute with this method it can creates the
MaxiMini-Image from the right CloneImage

I wanted to know:
For Safedisc 4.6 you have to keep the last 200kb of the Original Image and insert them into the maxi image. could someone tell me how i can do this in winhex ?

Just don't erase the last 200kb. Remember to keep the first part of the DVD intact too.

Don't copy & paste from the full image into another image; instead, fill most parts of the full image with zeros and you'll get the maxi image!

[ShizoFraen]

but how do i know what to zero out.

Trial and error. Keep the first and last Megabyte of the image and, if that works, you can make a backup and continue shrinking these to a few hundred kilobytes.
