make game iso smaller?

[DOS]

I donwloaded halo2 from my xbox dvd drive, and made an iso with Craxtion4, but dvddecryptor says it is 10272 sectors too big.

I noticed that there is 'dashupdate.xbe', and was wondering whether i can delete this? Also, is there an easy way to tell if a file isn't needed on the disc?

Thanks for your help!

Got big lists of what files you need/dont need when making xbox isos.

I put big files that are to large on the harddrive as its easier to ftp and saves me few quid on discs

if you use QUIX to create your ISO, it can crosslink duplicated files, and therefore save you space on your DVD
