I have come across a problem with one type of CDs.

I have got a pack of blank CDs, which are 99mins long and 870mb.
I have tried to copy music in a file which is 833mb long onto this blank cd using Nero, but it only gives me 800mb so i have reduce some of the music from the file.

Is there a way that lets me do this copying the full file of music onto this cd without having to take some music off.

Both your CD drive, and your burning software must support the larger (non-standard) media size for you to be able to burn the longer files.

Check with the manufacture of the CD-RW drive for a firmware update that allows recording longer media with your drive.

Most likely, you will need to purchase a newer drive that specifically supports the higher capacity CD-R.

NOTE: Should you find a drive that will record at the longer time, you will find that the disk will not play on many older CD drives.
Their lasers and tracking cannot handle the narrower track spacing.
