I forgot to add without using zip program or winrar. Just basic files and stuff from my windows sp2 cd. The contents are to big to burn :(.
What is your goal? To make a bootable CD that can install windows? Or are you just including patches to run on other machines?
So you want it compressed but not in an archive and runnable on a disk?
Just get a bigger disk -.-
Simple just burn the contents to a cd. Trying to save my copy that i had dell send me last year. Its starting to get scratched up.
I have a bootdisk or two that can boot all windows machines just cant do what i put above. pita. :)
I like that acronym ^.

Is there a place where i can order cd-r larger then 720 meg?
Sounds like you have an image you should be burning, not a file, which may fit after the image headers and such are stripped away.

Mind to elaborate. Not much knowledge on images on cds. Just for windows as far as i care :P.
If you are trying to copy an existing disk then you need to use a CD copying program, not drag the contents off and onto a new one with the Windows Built-In piece of crap burning engine, as there are parts of the disk that will NOT be copied as a result.
If you have a single file then you most likely need to burn it as an image, and not as a file. Again, the Windows Built-In piece of crap burning engine will not help you.
Just dandy. I have 2 that can burn images but have to go through 3 gigs of storage on my network mail server to even find it. I might just do that later.
Bad thing is one doesnt work well and the other works but includes Adware. :cry:
Google CDBurnerXP (I am pretty sure that was the name), a good free burning software (capable of burning images like that) in the vein of the *nix versions, but for windows.

Thanks. Ill make a note of that. Trying to get a new hd first before this one quits then ill try it. Just as a precaution.
You can also try to 'overburn' the disc, if what you're copying is just slightly larger than what a disc will hold... overburning will keep burning as long as it gets a valid checksum back from the copy, so it goes until it hits errors. Success is very dependant on how good of a blank you start with... :)

i feel stupid saying this, but buy a bigger disc is the issue surely?
or use a HD DVD disc... they go up to like 20 gigs now if i remember correctly...
maybe im wrong :D
