CD-R Burning a 2gig ISO?

[GhandiInstinct]

I need some advice as to how to burn a 2.2 gig ISO, I only have CD-Rs and theyre 700mb each.

I only have a CD burner so is it possible to burn a 2 gig iso to cdrs?

Search Google for Splitting an ISO. You will find plenty of programs to do it.

Ok so after it's split how do I recombine it? Couldn't find anything on that.

You burn each part of the split ISO to a CD.

The files from the original ISO will now be scattered over your set of CDs.

If you want to recombine then you just copy each CD to a directory on the HD. Use the same directory for each CD, and all the files will be back together.

It is really most suggestable to get a DVD burner, these have really come down in price and in the long run it will be worth it just to avoid the hassles.

Download WinRAR, extract the files from the ISO file, and burn some to each disc.


Or, if you truly need to recombine the original ISO in that format, use WinRAR to compress the file.
Set the compression method to "Store," and set the Split to Volumes to "700m - CD-700M," and also check "Create SFX Archive," which will make it a self extracting archive. It'll splice up the ISO file into separate WinRAR archive files, each just right for a 700MB CD. Burn them, transport them to whatever location they need to get to, put the first CD in, and run the EXE file. It'll splice together the source files into the original ISO file.


Otherwise, if they all need to be on one disc, get a DVD burner.

i like jeffs rar idea

put the first CD in, and run the EXE file. It'll splice together the source files into the original ISO file.

What EXE files?

So the 2 CD file was split into 5 cds by winrar into 700mb sizes. I put them on another computer and do what to splice em?

When you RARed the ISO (and selected the options per Jeff7's instructions) you created a self-extracting archive (.exe file), that will automatically extract from each file to recreate the original ISO.

if u burn the individual files simply spread out in ANY fashion AT ALL, as long as ALL of them are back in the SAME FOLDER ARRANGEMENT as the original, you will be fine.
