| I made an IMG file of my harddrive which I'm gonna put on a bootable CD. My problem is that the image includes the empty space as well. So since the whole harddrive is 1.18GB it won't fit on a CD. Is there any way to remove the empty space from the image? | |||

I don't think you can, but you might be able to open it in an ISO extraction program and fix it. (The problem is that it contains a byte-for-byte copy of your HD, so if you want to restore it to your HD, it needs to be exactly the same size.) It should compress really well though, try RARing or Zipping it at max compression. If nothing else works, you could just borrow a second HD with just enough space, and xcopy everything to it in DOS.  I don't think you're going to fit a backup of any decently-sized HD on a single CD, though. |

| It's not for backup... I'm making a bootable CD. Oh well. I have a 500 MB HDD too so i guess i should just try that then. ^^ | |||

| Yes... make sure that it's still on the hard disk. Partition Image will save only used portitions of FAT16/32 (also works on ext2, ext3, reiserfs, HPFS, JFS, XFS, UFS, HFS, and NTFS. Though you don't want those..  Don't use the NTFS thing. It says experimental. There's already a stable NTFS clone tool in ntfsprogs). Yes, I know that it's a Linux program and you most likely don't have Linux... SystemRescueCD has Partition Image on the disc. Burn that to use PI. |
