because the maxi image is truncated "cut off" after the TOC (Table of Contents)

The rest of the image is filled with 0's, which rar can compress by using simple math to calc the 0's and replace with something like 0=x1,000,000 from offset x00xxxxx to x00xxxxx then when unrared it writes the zeros back from the start offset to the ending offset where they end.

(that is a simple explanation)

The image is actually only a few KB to a couple hundred KB, but due to the computer not being very intelligent, it cannot distiguish between the faked file size and the real size, this is because the TOC is telling the system that the files and directories exist still even though they dont really.

If it were possible atm, then I would have the tool to do it.. lol And would love to be able to compress that much data to that small. I am sure some day someone will figure out how to do it and write a tool, but till then, it is impossible.
