Boosting CD-RW +10MB

I have a CD-RW that has 656MB of space on it.  It's completely empty.  I tried burining Windows 2003 ISO to it which is 666MB in size.  It runs 10MB short and fails to complete the write to the disc.  I don't really feel like going out to buy a 700MB CD-R when I have plenty of CD-RWs at home.  Does anyone know how I can accomplish shortening the ISO minus 10MB or increase the size of the CD to hold 10 more MB?  Or is there absolutely no way to do this?

Try some overburn? Nero is one tool that can overburn CDs. But I'd really just get a 700 MB CD. I never buy 650 MB CDs anymore.

Yeah, there's the overburn option in most burners, with the disclaimer that "this might ruin your cd-rw drive or your disk" .. so I wouldn't :)
This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

Okay.  I actually just installed it via my Windows XP partition instead of the CD.
