800MB CD shows empty space of only 702MB

I have bought a CD of 90 mins and 800MB space, but when i try copying data on it, it shows available space of only 702MB. How do i copy more than 700MB data using sonic record now?

It is pretty much impossible ofr cd manufacturers to get the exact amount of space each time so CD's will vary back and forth. Nero has the ability to burn to the edge of the CD which will give you some more megabytes, but not as much as 100MB.

What are you trying to put on to the CD?
