Help! Making backup copy of 700+ MB CD... how to do it?

[Arschloch]

Hello all.

I am making a PERSONAL BACKUP copy of Win98SE. (Translation: Please do not flame me for being a 'pirate'.)

Anyway, I noticed that the image file from the CD is ~ 750-760 megs large. I have a bunch of 80 minute/700 MB CD-R's. This may sound stupid, but is there any way I can possibly burn the image on to the CD-R, despite the fact that its listed capacity is too small?

IF not, are there any other ways to do this? I haven't even seen any CD-R's that one can buy that have more than 700 MB capacity. Is there any way to split the image across CD-R's?

THanks.

ok the "image" will be bigger than the actual burn. You should be fine, considering that win98se is not a full cd.

Don't worry about it. It'll fit.

Some CDs contain crosslinked files. So there is only one physical file on the CD, but is logically pointing to many directories. NT Workstation is built this way. The way to get around this is to do a RAW CD to CD copy.

Adaptec has CD Copier which works fine.
