Power Archiver

[charlie_82]

I downloaded a 10MB PAE file today... Got Power Archiver and extracted it... But the iso inside is 3.49GB!
Is this possible? Or am I gonna unleash an unholey war on my PC by running this ISO?

I have seen some 64kb demo exe which is consist of gigs of sound files and video.

Yeah if it was a KGB file, I might believe it. But I dunno about power archiver

Depending on the data it is possible for high compression, but that is in exceptional cases, e.g. you have files with lots of repeating information, or maybe dummy files filled only with zeros.

Is there actually 3.49GB worth of data on the ISO?

I've been too afraid to run the ISO... I opened it in Power Archiver just to see the files and they look ok, at a glance. But I'm skrikkies to mount the ISO and do further inspections.

A lot of people say it's fake, others say it works...

From one of the comments:

Files contains 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I will tend to believe that

LOL yes me too. Tho I dunno what the hell the other people talking about saying it works....

Yes its possible and it was intended that way. It's a mini-image. Google it.

If you enable windows folder compression then it will only use 10mb on your HDD.

Well, the description stated "The DVD contains 6 x64 versions of windows, which can be installed by either booting to the DVD or starting the installations from within another x64 installation of Windows. It also will create standalone ISO's of any included version of Windows". That does not sound like a mini-image. Anyway, as I stated earlier you get high compression with certain files, such as the dummy files on a mini-image.

Get IsoBuster and look inside the iso.
