    Googled but couldn't find anything specific. Using WinRAR 3.5. A pointer to a site explaining this would be great! As always, thanks for any help.

    Just open WinRar and click the Wizard button, then select Create a New Archive.

    I've never tried compressing an ISO, and if it contains Cabinet files etc, they are already compressed, and trying to compress them any more may have the opposite effect or not work at all.

    You're right, it's one big .wim file. ;) Just trying to make some space, it's time to get a new drive. Thanks Insomniac.
