What is the smallest file/amount of data you have ever burned to a CD?

[IJump]

I am getting ready to burn a 640K file to a CD. That's it, nothing else, just 640K. A Bad floppy drive on a laptop makes this necessary. Sad, yes, but necessary.

So, what is the smallest "burn" that you have done?

 

[pulse8]

probably around 2 megs

edit: actually, i forgot that i burned a boot CD once that was about 500K.

 

[Pyxis]

Don't remember exactly how small the file was but I think around 500K.

 

[Elledan]

About 250 MB. Stupid audio albums 😛

 

[hashbrowns]

i burn single word documents no more than 14-15k big.

i never have floppies in my dorm room but plenty of cds to go around.

 

[MeanMeosh]

450 bytes 🙁 my A: drive was not workin 😛

 

[Saltin]

1 kilobyte. You cant get any more frivolous than that kids!

I also buy whole roasted chickens, eat one drumstick, and throw the rest into the garbage right away. I don't even save the rest for later! How do you like that!?

Never down to 1K yet - but pretty small - a collection of word docs to take with my laptop, since I didn't want to haul around my floppy drive too.

 

[ILikeSprite]

50MB maybe.....

 

[Hossenfeffer]

Just the letter "a"

Sad to burn a 640k file to a CD? Nah, considering the cost and the fact that you "could" add more to the CD, it ain't no thang but a chicken wang.

21.7MB, I think...but it was an emulator CD for my Dreamcast...

< a meg

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

A few hundred KB. Whenever I have a presentation to do at school I always use CDs. Although they're usually CD-RW so I can usually erase them.

350k... had to install NIC card drivers on a computer without an A drive.. and had to go to someone else's computer to get the drivers, since without the NIC card I had no net access

I just burned a 1450 byte file (10 minutes ago). Someone had a laptop with a broken NIC and had no floppy. So burning was my best option. Good thing I only use rewritable CDs, I'd never waste 50 cents to transfer one file.

 

[BlueApple]

a two page Word doc.

 

[iamshady]

500K, had to test out my autorun program for a demo CD my company was distributing. Went through 5 for it 😉

 

[Mday]

about 50 MB or so i think. i have burned something rediculously small on a CD before lol.

same problem, no floppy lol =P

 

[ViperMagic]

350K. Drivers for something

 

[Demon-Xanth]

nVidia Det 6.31 drivers.

 

[areohbe]

ehhh only about 3 or 4 megs

when @home got switched over to ATTBI, i didn't have any dialup programs or services at all. so i had to go to my cousin's house, download the netzero installation program, and burn it to cd and install it here. Man, netzero *horrified* i'm NEVER going back to dialup again
