Hey, I have a non-video ISO file that is roughly 7 gigs. I do not have nor do I want to buy any dual layer DVDs. So my question is... How do I do what the retail companies do when you get say two or three disks and as the install goes along it asks for disk 2 then disk 3 ect ect.... Is there an easy way of doing this or am I shit out of luck without buying dual layer DVDs???
Not necessarily. Get something like Isobuster and extract the contents. Then see if you can find a place to logically split the folders.
I have a program to extract the files but i dont really know how to split it to make the setup run off of one disk and then need the second while installing.
I guess you would need to extract the files from the ISO and create a new multi disc install... Maybe Inno Setup can do the trick? If it is just data and it doesn't install. then you can extract the contents of the ISO and just create two folders. Put about 1/2 of the contents in each folder and burn.
Yea that's what I need... a multi-disk install. It's a program that needs to be installed, not just an iso of files. I'll try Inno or whatever you suggested. Thanks
Unless your time is worth nothing, IMHO the (relatively) small amount of money to purchase one or two DL blanks is a small price to pay as opposed to the amount of effort required to do what you want, that is, on the assumption that it can be done at all. You might be more successful using Alcohol to create a virtual drive and mount the .iso on it for install.
Really? You dont have to be an bumhole. Yea, I could just go buy a stack of DL dvds but that isn't what I wanted to do. And it's not what I asked. A DL disk won't fit an install file that's 11 gigs... 13 gigs.... And these are the sizes I have. I don't want to just mount it virtually because I want to free the space... the harddrive this stuff is on is like 40 gigs free... And all my other drives are used for other stuff. I just wanted to know if there was a program that could easily do what the software manufacturers do all the time. Make a multi-disk install for a game, software, or anything. They are all over. Just wanted to know if there was a way to do that. Thank you again to the guy who reccomended a program, i'll look at that.
First you said, "Hey, I have a non-video ISO file that is roughly 7 gigs." Then, in your angry response, "A DL disk won't fit an install file that's 11 gigs... 13 gigs.... And these are the sizes I have." Well, which is it? I wouldn't have given you the answer that I did had you not stated what you did in the first post.
Sorry last post was supposed to say i have 11 and 13 gig files also. I'm sorry for my rudeness about that. But the DL disk isn't what I asked about. I asked how to split an iso to multiple disks. Either way it doesn't warrant my rudeness. I do apologize for that. I was in a bad mood. I'm sorry.
