whats the largest capacity cdr media?

[spanky]

i have a ghost image of my current hd that is about 880mb. are there any cdr media with a high enough capacity to burn this ghost image onto?

 

[gopunk]

largest i know of is 870 mb. i would split the image if i were you.

How do you split an image?

 

[gopunk]

i remember i had a program that could do that. forget what it was called though... it could also add and remove things from an image.

Most CDRs can burn up to 800MB with the right media.
There is extended capacity media like gopunk said, about 870MB.
Sony has double density CDRs which hold like 1.2GB but you need a special writer (duh)

I'd split the image or try to reduce the size

When you make a ghost image one of the command line options is ti span it across disks. The newer versions of Ghost will also create the image and burn it on the fly to CDR and simply ask you for a new disk when the first is full. I don't have a copy of ghost in front of me right now to find out the command line options, but if you read the manual it should give you all of them. I think running "ghost -?" should give you all the command line parameters too.

You could simply use WinRAR to split an archive into X MB chunks. (X being a number.)
Just set the Compression Level to store, and it shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
