hey im trying to burn vectorliinux to a cd, but on my computer the blank cd shows up as 648 mb when it says 700mb on the disc. I know there are 650mb discs out there but on them it says "74min" and on this one it says "80min". So how does this work? it says 700 on the packet but on the computer it says 650!.This is particulaly annoying as i am trying to burn a 690mb file onto a short sized cd. is this my computer being silly or is it my disc?Hyoer:

There likely are 700 MB on the CD, but buringing data to the LAST 50 MB is not always a good idea. Some CD burning software will allow you to burn nearly the full 700 MB, but will give you a warning that the data may become unreadable.

DocVector linux fits on one CD. Don't look at the size, just burn the ISO witht Nero, etc. and all will be fine. I did it last week. Is this a CDRW or a real CDR?have not got nero, and i am trying with deepburner . wil post back with results.




edit:Not expanding into new post am modifying post. so.. here we go!
Deepburner gets to say, 10% or 24% and then says \
WRITER ERROR[ILLEGAL REQUEST[ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK]]
and then fails. is there a reason for this?I have not ever used DeepBurner, but are you writing it as an ISO? THat is the key. You can't just copy a few files.yes I am burnoing asx an iso. I slowed down the speed though and it WORKED fine. thankyou for your SUPPORT!I always burn O/S ISO's at 4x and for sure not at 52X, etc.i USE ALCHOHOL 120% to burn ISO's and burn at "maximum" burn speed, and it burns fine, nero is NOT compatable with my DVD burner for some odd reason, its a LITE-ON under the name of some stupid off brand
