i'm sorry if this question seems warez related but it is really not,
it is a technical question.
there is a disk called 5 in 1 that contains all of the 5 office system 2003 in one cd.
my question is how come a 700mb cd contains more than 1GB of data ???
i burned the iso and open the cd , selected all files ,right clicked and selected properties ang got more than 1 gb of files..
how can that be ???? :rolleyes:
When you burned did you not compress?Quote:

no...nothing comressed ...
just burned the image normally..
tha funny thing is that when opening 'my computer' the size of
the cd is normal..meaning at 700mb,but when i open the disk and select all files,
i get 1GB+ of data..
i don't get it ...!! :eek2: :rolleyes: :sad:
Sony I think (goes googling) have some proprietry stuff to allow 1.4 gig on a 'standard' cd ...
Ahh here's something ... Sony set to launch double density CD .. but that's 'old' news ! (dated March 15, 2001) & I can find many others also that 'old' ... but I do remember seeing something much more current, maybe that's the answer & they finally did it ? Only requires a bit of a firmware 'twiddle' apparently, but I can't find anything 'current' on the matter.
Maybe a more 'diligent' googler than I can say one way or the other ...?
donwloaded a normal 700 mb iso , burned with nero.
CD capacity is 700mb on 'my computer'.
CD capacity is 1GB+ when selecting all files inside the CD..
selecting all files and copying them to the hard disk works fine and
copies 1GB+ of files from 1 cd to the hardisk..!!!!!
