XP means you're probably using NTFS rather than FAT32. You can check this by clicking START -> ALL PROGRAMS -> ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS -> COMPUTER MANAGEMENT -> STORAGE -> DISK MANAGEMENT. You should see each of your drives and the file system type.
Try ripping the files to your hard drive with DVD Decrypter, and then editing those files with DVDshrink.
A simpler way is to double click the my computer icon and highlight your local disk c:. Now look to the left under Details and it will show the file system as well as the free space on the Hard Drive.
ok well, thanks for the help, i'm trashing shrink and decrypter, i am going with DVD2One. much easier and i don't have to sit and wait for people to help me. thanks guys!!!!!
ok, i tried both ways to see my system, and niether of them work. so good try guys. i want to stay away from dvd decrpyter and shrink, anyone know about DVD2One?
I think you'll have just as much trouble with DVD2One. Plus, the DVD2One program doesn't come with DVD ripping or burning tools, so you'll STILL need to use something like DVD Decrypter and Nero anyway.
