Is it possible to copy one file (more than 1 GB) on a CD
ROM (file can probably not be compressed anymore)

Thanks

CD Roms can only hold so much, and i've never seen one that holds over 1GB
of data. Have you considered getting a DVD burner?

No. Standard CD holds 650 to 700 meg.

Actually, I have some CDs here that will hold a gigabyte. However, the
burner and software must support overburning (I use Nero, AFAIK Easy CD
doesn't support it).

It's not possible to copy *any* files to a CD-ROM.

Thanks - I've never seen such non-thinking as in this
thread! I suspect the OP did not state his problem
correctly.
