&lt;p&gt;What software are you using to create the ISO files? &amp;nbsp;I have seen this with UltraISO and I always used the option &amp;quot;Optimise file&amp;quot; when you are saving the file to avoid this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HTH,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This works fine for WIM's themselves, but one of the problems I am having is when I make the WIM into a bootable ISO (say for a PE disc) and each time i make a change and make a new ISO, the ISO itself grows by ~100mb each time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Is there any way to avoid this?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3112108" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
