    I downloaded an ISO (program) file that is too big for the cd-r's that I own. Is there anyway I can burn this program to two cds and it will still load properly?

    How much 'big'? You must recalculate the size multiplying by 2353/2048 (they are images, not files, extracted no more then RAW (no SUB, or you wouldn't have an .ISO but a CloneCD or an Alcohol 120% file) and will be burned without calculating ECC and EDC (2352 bytes/sector instead of 2048 bytes/sector), For instance, on a 74 min CD you can fit very large images, up to 333,000 (free sectors on a 74 min CD) x 2352 = 783,216,000 bytes (747 Mb, the well knnown 750 MB lmit). On a 80 min CD about 10% more size (use 360,000 free sectors instead of 333,000).
    Is this enough?
    Read the details on http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/7976 if this in not enough.
