Max Data on a single CD

[ajin115]

How can we write max data on a single cd, upto 4-5 GB is it possible?

I have seen a cd with games(full versions) IGI, IGI 2, NFS, and three more in single cd, how it is possible? on a one cd?

[kumarmohit]

Not on a CD unless u develop some extra uber revolutionary compression algorithm but u can burn that much data on a DVD.

It must be a DVD and the music and videos of games must have been discarded.

[koolbluez]

Hey, can u send me the "cd", please....

[anilmail17]

ya i also have one CD which contain 4GB of data. It is 9in1 windows setup disk. I m also surprised how is this possible?

[Techmastro]

1. Introduction

UHARC/GUI is a comfortable GUI (Graphical User Inerface) for UHARC that uses the new WinXP sytle. UHARC is a high compression multimedia archiver and was written by Uwe Herklotz. It's the best archiver I ever met, because it achieves a much better compression rate than RAR, ACE and of course ZIP. The UHARC release by Uwe Herklotz only contains the UHARC archiver itself, a commandline-based console application. Because I like UHARC very much, but I don't want to work with a console application all the time, I cretead a GUI for this great archiver. My GUI allows you to use all features of UHARC and I also added a completely new feature: Converting UHARC archives to SFX (Self-Extracting) archives. This feature has been realized with Nullsoft's NSIS and allows you to build simple installers. Furthermore you can open UHARC archives directly from your Windows Explorer. Here are all features in deatail:


A comfortable WinXP-styled GUI
Direct access to UHARC archives from Windows Explorer
Full UHARC v0.4 and UHARC v.06 support
Displaying UHARC's log-file on the GUI
Creating new UHARC archives
Adding files from different source directories
Adding directories from different parten directories
Using PPM, ALZ or LZP compression or storing the files uncompressed
Enabling or disabling multimedia detection/compression
Using a dictionary of up to 32.768 Kilobytes
Storing or ignoring paths
Recursing or ignoring subdirectories
Storing or ignoring empty directories
Encrypting archives with a password
Viewing the content of an existing UHARC archive
Testing the content of an existing UHARC archive
Extracting files from an existing UHARC archive to a specific directory
Decrypting password-protected archives (with correct password only)
Using or ignoring stored paths
Overwriting or keeping existing files
Converting UHARC archives to SFX archives
Building NSIS-based installers

lol... Dude it's not a 4GB disk disk any version of windows say server,home,datacenter,prof etc.etc have maost of installation file same and only few files differ according to the features... and installation is designed in a customised, so don't consider ur disk to be a miracle....

[anilmail17]

see the screenshots of 9in1 disk and then explain me how is this possible??

[Sukhdeep Singh]

That 9 in 1 is not compression. Thats actually a Microsoft Mount Tool which is available in MSDOS.

What it does...it lets you share *common files* which actually share a single sector on Disk but you see two files Virtually

[NIGHTMARE]

kgb archiver download http://kgbarchiver.net/?page=download

[Tech Geek]

thats a useless tool
it takes hours to compress big files

[tanush_89]

what whats the ratio of its compression ??

just google it i have given enough info bro... there are just a handful of tools like this out there...

[NIGHTMARE]

thanks i got it
__________
@ Tech Geek which one is better and take less time plz tell me

[anilmail17]

hey sukhdeepsinghkohli can u give more detail about this micorosft mount tool how can i use this to create my own 9in1 like disc?

[tanush_89]

ya even i wanna know it

[Sukhdeep Singh]

When i saw that thing two yrs back, i found out how it was done on MSFN forums. Now forgot what the name of Tool was...but it was something "Microsoft Virtual Mount Tool" Cant remember but i guess....i will re search for it shortly.
__________

EDIT : OK Found it again
Ok Found and i would explain again how it is done. NO COMPRESSION Involved Friends LOL

The tool used here is called Cdimage. All the Files are copied first on HDD which makes it over 2GB +.
Cdimage looks for files with the that exact size and content, then at the time of creating the iso it copies the file just 1 time and the rest of similar files look at the same sector through the toc.
that is: if drivers.cab is the same for all Win9in1 setups, it will only be copied 1 time on the cd and everytime drivers.cab is called (from differents win9in1 setups) it will be referred to the sector the first driver.cab was copied. I hope you can understand what that means....

You should now download CDIMAGE

Gui Version : Download

[dharmeshhtailor]

yeah i also have Visual Studio.net 2003 whole thing in one CD...
its about 1.5 gb..
but its compressed with high compresseion rate...
adn then splitted into parts..
so u can only write on CD ...the amount of data...CD can handle..there is no such th8ing like u can write...4 gb on 700mb cd..
thats rubbish...

[ajin115]

Thanks for a nice suggestion.

[varungupta17]

Check out UltraISO.....

I too have a windows 64bit edition cd with all versions... Retail & Corporate & Enterprise... And it works.

[nabeelpkw]

I have seen SOF II Double Helix of just 240MB n GTA Vice City - 270MB and both are perfectly working except 4sounds in videos of GTA.
