Well, then I'm sorry, but the only way is to use the maxi image. You could compress it and decompress it only when you need it....

its not the same size ( look at my post here http://fileforums.com/showthread.php...461#post304461 ) the filesize will always show full size of the image.

You can make your own maxi-images with programs such as Alcohol 120% or CloneCD using your original disk to make the image.

You 100% sure, it works for me and others, are you actually checking HDD space before you even unrar file you grabbed here, then after unrar, compress, reboot or you going by text in the properties ?

BTW there is 2 mini images, im sure i got bottom one in list.

Hyakkii, I dont agree on the not needing reboot part, my pc is plenty fast and so is its SATA 16MB 300gig HDD, but i had to reboot even after 5 hours it hadnt changed size (i couldnt reboot as i was using pc till then), this was all from help from a peep here.

JOE stoap moaning thats twice you said that in here and thread linked to above (who the f00k reads FAQ's or RULE's anyhow), your like a broken down record player, i did state at top it was covered alsewhere, but im not going to sit here and see some peep stuck.

@jhuk: In a few years/decades, you will understand that your time is much more precious than to waste it by answering the same question again and again and again, to every newbie who comes around...

As for not reading the forum rules, there's absolutely no excuse for that. Also, I didn't spend almost half a day already with collecting information into the FAQ to see it become a shout in the wind; yes, it annoys me quite much that ignorant people just... well... ignore it.

Well i have nearly 3.5 decades under my belt as im 34 years old, its not a waste of time IMO if i can help peeps, unless ofcoarse they are lamers and have a attitude problem, but he seemed ok.

I help run a irc channel and everyone turneds of the motd, nobody but anal peeps read rules or FAQ's fully, anyone who can say they always do is a liar, cause its human nature to be bit lazy and skip boring parts, anyhow your only one in thread that had bee in bonnet about helping him lol.
