So I bought Windows and now I am trying to put the ISO onto a 4.7 GB DVD-RW Disc (which actually is only 4.37 GB). The Windows 8 ISO is... 4.37 GB. But when I tried using ImgBurn, it said that Windows 8 was 5 MB too big! Will this 5 MB be important or can I leave it off (If so, should I do overburn or truncate?) Thank you!
 
Use overburn.

Overburn forces it to use more of the disc which should be safe for such a small amount whereas I think truncate just doesn't write the data.

*Then use the VERIFY feature to compare the burned disc to the image. Or check it if it's an option during the burn cycle.
 


Thanks! I will try this and post back if it works or not!
 


It didn't work. It said "End of User Area Encountered on This Track". I think I'll just go buy a bigger DVD. Thanks for the suggestion though.
