ISO-IMAGE

[sridhar8310]

well in the august issue of digit, the dvd which was provided had the
ISO-image of suse-linux. The iso image size is 700mb while that of the the linux if burned onto a disc would be 1.3gb. Can anyone tell me how such ISO-images with commpresed data can be made.

The ISO image burned on a CD would also be 700 MB, not 1.3 GB. Remember, a CD can hold only 700 MB

Dont extract anything from the ISO Image...burn it as it is...If you are using Nero 6, Go to RECORDER>BURN IMAGE>select the image>BURN
Dats it...
Enjoy!

yes Kl@w-24 is right .

but virtual cd can create an image with compression in its own format

yes Kl@w-24 a cd may hold 700mb but when i tried to burn of the iso image(700mb) i told u about onto a disc it wouldn't it said that the capacity was not sufficient.
Also when i loaded the iso image using imagedrive(nero), i found out that the actual size was 1.3gb.
So what do u have to say now

It doesnt look to be 1.3 GB to me...

Just right click the ISO and burn it with DVD Decryptor. (If you don't have download it. It is just under 1MB).

happened in my 3 in 1 windows 2003 cd
the thing is there are 3 os's on it ... but theres is essentially one folder
yet it gave a size of 3 times the iso file when i checked
yet it burned on the cd
i guess it checks the size of all the folders mentioned even if its a repeat ....
thats the only logical way i could figure out

In Nero 5.5, how do I do it? If I create a data CD, it will just burn the .iso file and not the image. Nero saves its images as .nrg files and not .iso files

[Kl@w-24]

In Nero, choose 'Burn Image' from th File menu and select th image file.

agree with kl@w
or if ur still skeptical
use ultraISO ... it has an inbuilt nero burner for the iso's

In Nero, choose 'Burn Image' from th File menu and select th image file

:roll: silly me I have lost the drive to do even a little bit of R&D since I have been visiting tech forums. Thanks.
