Does anyone know how to copy information from a DVD onto 2-3 Cd's?
What software do i need to use?
I am using Nero at the moment but when i put a CD in to copy the information is say's the disk is too small for the data and spits the CD out.

Please help :confused:

It depends do you want to install the file from the disks, or can copy the split files off the discs onto your computer?

If you can bring them onto your computer, search "File Splitter" in download.com and just pick one you like.

I don't know what he's talking about, if it is a pirated copy now I feel bad I have helped the enemy.

First of all! Copying xp or any OS cd is not illegal!! Therefor we can help you. If you want to install from the 2-3 disks I dont know a way that you can do it but, im sure its possible otherwise how to vista and games work like that.

Yea, we have found out a way to split the files but can't get the 1st cd to boot... it keeps saying it cannot find the file. The program we used was HJSPLIT which comes out as 3 seperate files all with the extension:

(filename).gho.001

We have tried booting up and setting it up to read that file name, also just .gho and .001 and everytime it states there is no file to read.

^^ That is the problem with splitting the files! The boot files needed will most likely be corrupt which is why your getting the error. You might be better off putting the image onto a usb flash drive and making that bootable so you can install from the flash drive. No need for cd's that way!

We have no problem repairing the laptops when they are in our hands, as we can simply change the drive. But we need a way to put the data on 2-3 cd's for when people want to do it at home, instead of having to send it to us all the time

Assuming that you're using a recent version of Norton Ghost and that you don't want to remake the image with the spanning option, you should be able to use Ghost Explorer.
