I created an IMG file as per instructions somewhere else in this forum, but the file takes around 243MB, even though I only have around 60 MB of stuff in my 256MB pen drive.
I then tried compressing it using WinRAR and noticed I could not get a lot of compression, as the resulting file was still around 150 MB.
So, on to the question: is there any way to "clean" this image by blanking out sectors that are not used, so I can later compress it properly with WinRAR?

Thanks,
 Mad

Never mind answering people: I've just terminated evaluation of UltraISO as it has managed to completely screw up one ISO I make frequent changes to! I'm back to MagicISO: may lack some features, but never screwed my ISOs!
