The file is not Vista, not even a pre-release build. It's a meticulously crafted collection of files that really have no content apart from the same character repeated several times - open any of them in notepad and you'll see.

Compression works on a simple funda - find patterns, and then store the number of times it's repeated. So compressing a text file with, say, "Digit" written a hundred thousand times will create a text file that is most likely 50 odd MB, but when I compress it, it will be a KB at best - the compression algorithm will just read the content as "Digit * 100000", which obviously takes up little or no space.

And guess what? Every single file in this iso is like this.

WinRAR, incidentally, compressed the iso to 1.2 MB.

Finally, tech_mastermind: I hope you got your answer now. Someone could rename the goatse image to "Vista.iso", but that doesn't make it Vista now, does it? Please grow a few more brain cells before stepping out into the real world.

^^I read that post but I have seen a 400mb file expanding to 4gb and actually working so compression techniques have grown too good nowadays specially the uha thingy.But 64kb-->4gb seems too far fetched.lol.

[gaurav_indian]

I have seen 600 mb compressed version of GTA san andreas expanding to 4.35gb and working.But 2mb is unbelievable.

[The_Devil_Himself]

^^its 64kb not 2mb.Actually this 64kb file is supposed to give those 600mb files that you have,so its kinda 2 level compression.

[drzpapi1985]

I am very curious to know, how in the world do people compress 3GBs ISO files to 500MBs

[Disc_Junkie]

^^ Use UnRAR

[Goten]

Wat a joke.

[Krazy Bluez]

@ drzpapi1985 : First try to read the whole thread and then comment afterward...
@ Disc Junkie: It's ain't possible with winrar to compress into that much (2 mb) amount....if it's still made, then I'm afraid it wouldn't work...

[Disc_Junkie]

^^^ Yes you are right, UnRAR is just like WinRAR and compress to that amount. He can also try Uharc. It has got much improved compression techniques.

Uwe herklotz uharc is very old , the better alternative is :-

WINRK

[JojoTheDragon]

what about 7-zip. My fav.

[expertno.1]

^^its fine , no issues with it and yep its my normal use favourite !

[Krazy Bluez]

The best compression gives is the WinRK Archiver...

[expertno.1]

^^its PAQAR 8 , but since its command line , not good for users , winrk is higly UI based and great options in it , moreover it supports rar and otehr formats for decompression too .

[Krazy Bluez]

^ ya that's why I suggested it...
