Extra Space Needed, How to make it fit?

Question

My computer is broke and I need to start it from scratch, so Im downloading XP SP3 Black Edition, My problem is the files when extracted will not fit on my disc (700mb)

Answer 1

Use a dvd disc they hold 4.7 Gigabytes if you have a dvd drive, or use a dual-layer CD-R which holds 1.376 Gigabytes.

Hope this helps.

Very funny, you are a little pisss taker are you not.

Answer 4

check nero, it will often overburn a seemingly large iso on to the cd media.  [you could burn a dvd]

i often use Daemon Tools to mount the cd image and remove unneeded files so the rest fits a cd.

see blackviper.com for file sets

Answer 5

Get a DVD RW drive and some discs

Answer 6

hahaha I know that edition ;) lol... well see, when you are done downloading it, it will come in ISO format (or a similar format like BIN of MDF) they are all bigger than 700MB on your hard drive, but they actually burn onto a CD because they are image, and not data files, different compression or something like that I dunno, basically its gonna be smaller on a CD than on the hard drive... jut make sure you burn it as an image disk (ISO) and not as a data disk and it will fit...
