rhythm Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) I found this Windows 7 OS.rar file from Google Drive. Its size is just 2.7MB. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwResBHfxHjaUGU0Y29QOUtuLWc/view?usp=drivesdk When I extracted I got 4.7GB .iso file. My question is how to create the Windows installer image (D:\sources\install.wim) file to compress highly. Edited April 27, 2017 by rhythm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kao Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 What you found is a fake ISO image where all files contain zeroes. Of course, such files will compress very well. You could even have 1TB file with all zeroes and compress it to a few MB RAR file. But no, you can't create a real Windows installer image which will compress that well. It's just impossible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techlord Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Yes, there used to be a similar scam in the Windows XP days where someone claimed that they could compress the entire 650 MB Windows XP ISO into 10 MB - of course, it was a fake I do not mean remove unwanted elements from it. I mean just compress that entire 650 MB install ISO into a compressed file of 10 mb ! So this is also a similar scam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
