i want to take some files and folders, shrink em, and make an iso file of them, to transfer easily to another hdd
An ISO has nothing to do with shrinking. Basically, an ISO is a single file representation of what would exist on a CD or DVD. Or any other collection of files.
But it doesn't do any shrinking.
Easy way to do this?
1. Through your router
or
2. Get a 64GB or 128GB USB drive. Copy and paste as needed.

Just to add - by the time you've compressed 80gb of files (you may get down to 40gb absolute max) it would have been quicker to copy them via flash/USB drive uncompressed evrn incremtally 20gb or so at a time or even straight copy over a network.
lets say i use easeus,,,and i have a folder about 80gb of pictures,,what size can i get out of the compression? estimate:
I honestly can't say, as it depends on the nature of the data you're dealing with (some data is inherrently uncompressible, e.g. truly random data and already-compressed files), and the compression algorithm used.
