    I have 3 bin/cue pairs that ought to be 3 cd's of a game. After using Nero 6.3.1.20 to burn them onto CD's, I get a file on each cd that fits the pattern, "*****setup.001" (the stars stand in for letters, of course) on cd 1, "blah.002" on cd 2, etc. I then tried using Daemon to mount the bin to see if this was a result of some kind of weird nero bug or a screwed up cue, but I got the exact same result. I'm now wondering if I managed to obtain a ps2 or xbox game instead of a pc game or something equally stupid. Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Well, if you could 'mount' the image you could have avoided to waste a CD. File.001 + File.002 + File.003 seem to be a set of a split packed file (WinRAR uses File.part01.rar ... File.partN.rar, I don't know all the packers and their options), split in 3 so that it can be burned, for backup purposes, into 3 normal CDs (instead into a DVD, since it must be a very large file).
    Therefore I would suggest to try to open the 001 file with a packer/unpacker (WinZIP? WinRAR? WinACE?). It should detect that in the file there's "Image.XXX -->002", so it should know that he must use all the N files to decompress and get the full file Image.XXX.

    Thanks. I suppose I should have mounted it first, but I hadn't run into a problem like this before, so I didn't realize there was a need to. I'll update after I try to unpack the 3 (yes, very large) files.
