[QUOTE="rogerinlondon, post: 798868, member: 20356"] Put all the confidential files in one folder, then choose File=>New=> Disk image from folder. The image will then be created directly with the files in it and will not ask for more space than you have available. See also [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_disk_image"]this[/URL] about how Sparse Disk Images work, and yes, they do really expand. [/QUOTE]
