burn .img file ?

by hippiechick37 / October 17, 2006 11:48 AM PDT

I have an .img file that is 752MB but I only have a 700MB CD/R disk. I tried burning it to a DVD+R disk but it gave me errors and had to throw the disk away. I have Nero 7 Ultra Edition. Is there anything I can do to burn this .img file onto either the 700MB CD/R by some method (compression or whatever, not sure if this is even possible but worth an ask) or onto the DVD+R disk? I'm guessing I couldn't burn it to the DVD b/c of a format issue. Thnaks.

That's a "overburn" image.

Sadly not a good thing.

Have the supplier/maker of this file give you one that fits on a regular CD.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
