Compressing files while burning CD

[Surajit]

I have game CD. The capacity of the CD is 700 MB. While I copy the content of
the CD to my hard drive, the file size becomes 1.37 GB. Now, how can I reburn
the game folder from my hard drive to a new CD of 700 MB capacity

Use a 3rd party Burning software, like Nero, AShampoo, etc, to "Copy Entire
Disk"

Most burning programs have that option in them.

Surajit,
You should copy directly from one CD/DVD to another, there should be no reason
that you should manually copy the files to your HDD first. With a blank CD/DVD
available.

For a PC that has only one (1) CD/DVD Burner:
1. Place your CD/DVD, you want to copy, in the CD/DVD Burner.
2. Open your CD/DVD Burning Software (Roxio, Nero, etc....). Do not use the
built in MS Copy to Disk option. You do need some type of CD/DVD Burning
Software, such as CDBurnerXP.

CDBurnerXP can be downloaded from:
http://www.cdburnerxp.se/en/download

3. There should be an option to Copy CD/DVD to CD/DVD .
4. Select that option, and start the burn, it will store temporarily the files
on your HDD.
5. Then you will be asked to place a blank CD/DVD in the CD/DVD Burner.
6. Finish the burn.
7. Test the new CD/DVD, and see if it starts the installation process, by
opening the CD/DVD-ROM drawer, then closing it.

***Be aware if the original CD/DVD has copy write protection, you may not be
able to burn a copy of it.***

That's likely the difference between an *installed size* and a copy.

Now, how can I reburn

You don't, and burning a copy of the installation folder often won't work
because it lacks key files. You can try by burning the installation folder
to DVD, instead.
