MY CD IS A 700MB CD BUT THE ISO IMAGE 716MB! WHAT DO I DO?

**ctroamer1** · 03-05-2004, 07:58 PM

I download the image th other day and it is 16MB to large for the disk. Are there higher capacity CDs out there?

If you mean it's 716602 KB, it equals 699,9 MB when divided by 1024.

If you've got a remastered larger iso you can still overburn it on a 700 MB cd.
I think my record using plextor cd's is 729 MB.

Just try burning it. It will fit. We've all been doing it for years. Only people with Nero have had problems burning these cds. Make sure you burn it as an iso image and not as a regular data cd.

I don't know anybody who has had problems overburning with NERO. Infact it's one of a few that actually can do it.

So where did you get that information?!

Probably here:

Nero has had a bug that prevents overburning and by what people have said even burning 700 MB complaining about insufficient space.

I burnt it in nero, no problems here, I thought the extra kb was just dummy space.

Me neither, Nero works fine.

**ctroamer1** · 03-18-2004, 09:27 PM

Actually, I did use Nero and it told me it would not fit. I'll try another burning software to see if it works. Thanks guys!

Are you burning a file or an image?

If you try to burn it as a file, it won't fit. You need to choose "Disk image or saved project" Then direct the wizard to the .iso file.

If you try to put the .iso file on the disk as a file it won't fit. You need to copy the contents of the file (the disk image within the .iso) and burn that.

Yikes, that sounds very confusing. One doesn't have to (and shouldn't) dig around inside the iso. All (half-decent) burner software should have an option to burn an iso directly but most of them do it in an akward way. They usually try to be very helpful in creating a new filesystem (although they don't say that, they call it a "project" or something equally vague) which is NOT what you want to do.
