HELP WITH BURNING BIG FILE

Could someone help me? I am wanting to burn a 4 gig file onto cdrs. I
have a bunch of computers that don't have dvd drives, just cd drives so, I
need the cds in install the program. Most are not networked.

Thanks

There are several options, each of which requires rebuilding the file
onto a hard drive before installation; in general, an installer not
built to run from a sequence of discs will not do so.

1. Use a free splitter such as HJSplit to divide the file into CD-sized
chunks, then the same program will recombine it.

2. Use ZIP or RAR to compress the file while splitting it for CDs.
De-archiving will restore it to a single file.

You have no choice but to split the files and burn/transfer to other
systems.

If the file is an .iso, try Daemon Tools to run it on systems without
dvd drive:

Thanks, Mike. I will give HJS a try.

Mikey, don't you think it's way overdue to update whether the FAQ has
corrected the common mistake?

the FAQ makes a common mistake in that section,
confusing Enhanced CD with its predecessor, CD Extra

Yes, the FAQ says that a Mixed Mode disc
is written in a single session.

I don't doubt it...but it conflicts with

other information I have gleaned from
references

I've posted privately to Andy on the FAQ section.

It is quite dated ... and has significant errors

Mike,

The problem is that I cannot burn cds after splitting with HJSplit as
HJSplit puts an extension on it that the burner won't allow, ie, .001, .002,
etc.

I thought that I read in HJSplit blurb that it can burn split CDs but it
does not say how.

Once again, HJSplit burns nothing. Either your reading or your memory is
in error.

Of course, you cannot burn split files as audio without recombining
them, but I have never heard of a mastering program which cares about
the extension when burning a *data* file (i.e., to CD-ROM). If you would
release the secret of what program you are using, someone may know it
and be able to advise you.
