Ifyou've already compressed with best compression method, you can't compress further.. Few KB/MB could be digestible, but compressing 144MB compressed data to 22MB: No way!

I'd not say, its impossible. But.. Currently, there's no standard compression algorithm to do this. Sorry!


If 22MB is a limit somewhere (like cloud, storage), you can always use file splitters to split this 144MB file into multiple 22MB chunks. File Joiners (often, built-in with file splitters) reverse this process.


Your best bet is to either tweak the WinRAR settings to the file you were trying to compressing, or to use a better compression algorithm. 7-Zip supports several different powerful algorithms, and by tuning them just right, you could potentially get a big increase in savings over RAR.


In this particular example, a moderate level of compression is applied, if you had more time (computer power) to count occurrences of words, you could increase the compression of this statement by pulling out the word "is". But even large amounts of CPU time can only compress documents a fraction further, leaps from 110 MB to 22 MB aren't possible unless there are a lot of things to replace in the first compression pass..


First use the winrar to compress it with the best mode. Then archive it with 7zip. I tried it with gta sanandreas with a size 5.79 GB and after compression it got reduced to a memory of 12MB. Believe me, it's working.


WinRAR is a trialware file archiver utility for Windows, developed by Eugene Roshal of win.rar GmbH. It can create and view archives in RAR or ZIP file formats, and unpack numerous archive file formats. To enable the user to test the integrity of archives, WinRAR embeds CRC32 or BLAKE2 checksums for each file in each archive. WinRAR supports creating encrypted, multi-part and self-extracting archives. WinRAR is a Windows-only program. An Android application called "RAR for Android" is also avail...


check if it signed by expected vendor, for executable files signature on windows and validation is handled natively

If signature is from major CA and name of signee matches expectations, then all is well barring major cybersecurity incident on software vendor side.


Personally there has been absolutely no reason to buy winrar or winzip this or last decade, you can use 7zip instead. Winrar offers nothing that OSS does not and it probably survives only thanks to brand recognition alone.

As far as I know, what you are supposed to do is complete the first "half" of the Win98 install, then install WinXP, and finally finish up with Win98. The problem I have with that is this: In order to do a Win98 install, you have to first format the hard drive with the DOS utility fdisk, but as far as I know, that partitioning "takes up" the entire capacity of the disk space. So, I therefore ask, how do you use fdisk to create a specifically sized partition for Windows 98 (like 80GB or 40% of a hard drive's capacity, for example)?

When you create the primary partition, after it scanned the free space it'll ask you if you'd like to setup a partition taking up all spaces and set it active, press N at this point, then it'll scan the free space again and you'll be presented with the option to set the primary partition size.


After that you can proceed to add an extended partition to take up the remaining space and then set up logical partitions inside that. You can manually define partition sizes when configuring those partitions.


For dual-booting, it depends on how you want to do it. Do you want WinXP to "see" your Win98SE partition? If so, then create a FAT32 partition and install Win98SE to it. Then, use the WinXP CD to create a NTFS partition and install WinXP to that.


Personally, I don't like my OS's to "see" each other. I like them to all be on drive "C:" when I boot them up. So far, the best dual-booter that I've found for this task is PLOP boot manager. Unfortunately, it can be a bit confusing to set up and configure. If you find yourself totally lost, reply back and I'll try to assist.


Also, for clarification for everyone, here's my plan: I have a 250GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 HDD, upon which I plan to have 3 partitions, the first one being the Windows 98 SE installation partition (I want it around 80-100GB in size), the second the Windows XP installation partition (again, around 100GB in size), and the third one being a FAT32 partition that will allow me to indirectly transfer files and folders from the Win98 partition to the XP partition.


That's correct. In the scenario you describe, Win98SE will be visible to WinXP because it's on a FAT32 partition. WinXP will not be visible to Win98SE because you'll have that on an NTFS partition. Thus, Win98SE will be on the C: drive when you boot it and WinXP will not be visible. When you boot WinXP, Win98SE will still be on the C: drive and WinXP will be on the D: drive (because FAT32 is readable by WinXP).


That 3rd FAT32 partition will be visible to Win98SE, so you'll be able to copy files to it while booted under Win98SE. When you boot WinXP, you can then retrieve those files. However, this is redundant and unnecessary because your first Win98SE FAT32 partition will be visible to WinXP at all times anyway. So, there's really no need to create that third FAT32 partition.


Logical Partition 1

FAT32 - No OS

Visible to both Win98SE and WinXP


This scenario may suit your needs better. In this case, both Win98SE and WinXP will be hidden from each other and both will be on the C: drive when booted. The 3rd Logical FAT32 partition is visible to both Win98SE and WinXP as D:, so you can copy files to it that will be accessible to both operating systems.


Easy - don't use fdisk. I sometimes use a Gparted Live CD, sometime I attach the drive to my modern PC and use EaseUS. You can then create as many partitions as you like for as many OSs as you like. Just make sure the Win98 one is the very first partition.
