Hey,
Just wondering how would i be able to get one of my files to be smaller? I use WinRAR and I made it into a .rar file but the size stayed the same the file is about 1.6mb and I want it to be able to fit on a floppy disc. (my CD drive isn't working) 
You can't compress jpg or mp3 files (among others) as they're naturally compressed...
What kind of files were they?
-NC
well it is a setup file so it would be .exe
size of file: 1,666,643 size when packed: 1,632,712
I believe certain setup files are naturally compressed, so sadly, there's not much you can do with these kinds of files 
.
-NC
ok, then i have to wait for the computer drive to get fixed
if you have more than 1 floppy, just use winrar make the setup multiple rar files, about 1000kb each.
Standard 1.44mb floppy disks can actually be formatted to hold 1.72mb of data.
Microsoft used this technique (DMF format) back when WIndows used to come on floppy disks.
Some disk imaging utilities will do this (WinImage does).
There's also freeware utils like FMT or SuperFormat will also do this for you.
The specially formatted disks can be read on standard floppy drives too.
