hi friends

some one has asked me question which i am not been able to answer. please help me

I got a little doubt in this concept, I would be very thankfull 2 u,

if anyone of u could tell me about it,(anyone!!)

I am havin a Windows 9in1 CD of windows XP,Pro,OEM,MDC,STD,UDG,HE....n

so on. When i chk out the properties of the CD(sony rewriteable), it

shows exactly---734,097,408 bytes, but when i open up the files on the

CD , select the primary files on the root path, they all combine 2

show up as----Total size--4.06GB!!! Size on disk is showin 4.12GB!!!

i used simple WINDOWS EXPLORER 2 check out these bundles. There is a

"ROOT" folder in the CD which shows 2 be of 4.07GB(on disk) and

4.01GB!!! As much as i know there is no such software around that

could compress that much!! But i checked out each of the files,is

there anything up with virtual imaging???

How have these microsoft guys done it??

Please do reply

U can hv those various Windows in one CD bcoz those various distributions (like XP Home, Pro, OEM, etc) share various files in i386 folder of CD!

U can use the following s/w to make such CD:

Magic ISO Maker
