  • 1.  Image same size after deleting 2.5g and compiling

    Posted Apr 13, 2007 10:29 AM
    GSS 2.0 I deleted a hiberfil.sys of 1g and pagefile.sys of 1.5g from my image whis was made with GSS 1.1.
     
    Then compiled. However, Image is still exact same size as original 5g. shouldnt it be reduced to 2.5 g????

    Ghost does not store the contents of those two files, just a record of their size so they can be recreated when restoring.

    So deleting them won't affect your image size.

    Thanks
     
    Guess I need to do more data mining for files to delete to fit this puppy on 1 DVD.

    Getting rid of all the windows hotfix uninstallers saves a lot of space.

    Thanks Ray Already did that. Usually have about 60 of those to delete. Every little bit helps.
