I have been looking through the guides but I dont see an answer to this particular question. I have a large image file (approx 20 gigs) I would like to put it on DVD. Obviously it will take about 6 dvds I thought that Nero (6.6 UE) would automatically assume I was going to put it across multiple dvds but it keeps telling me that the "file is to big for the media". I figure it has to be a setting in nero to make it do this but I have searched their tutorials and found nothing. Does anyone know how to do this or what program I need?

.gho .... its a norton ghost 2003 hard drive image. it goes to my laptop but the image is on my desktop. I would just use a network boot disk to restore it but my laptop doesnt have a floppy (which really sucks because when your buying a laptop you think, oh I dont need a floppy and then every day you find an instance that a floppy drive would make your life alot easier.)

Hello Amlucent,
Did you just create that image ?
If you can re-create one, use the -Z9 switch (Max Compression) and the -split=4300
C:>ghost -z9 -split=4300
Will create files that are not larger than 4300 Mb
I use -split=680 for 700 Mb CD-R never tryed 4300, not sure if it will support it, but it should !
This way you can burn them on DVD without a problem !
As for splitting an existing ghost image, I'd have to do some research !

unfortunatly that is not an option at this point. I made this image file about a year ago. and this is the only copy I have (not to safe I know). Well a situation has arisen that I need to be able to restore it. I use to have it on an external usb hard drive but it broke a while ago. So I figure no big deal. Ill restore it over the network.. but that requires a boot disk and i have no floppy... I guess I could make it work if I could copy the boot disk over to a bootable cd? but I am not to sure on how to do that... so I thought no biggy Ill put it to dvd...wrong. Im stuck.

You are not out of luck. Go here and read all:

If that doesn't work, then just install Norton Ghost (from your installation CD) onto your laptop, then: Norton Ghost --> Ghost Basic --> Restore (and restore it through your network).
The DVD shrink suggestion was hilarious! LMAO. However, along the same lines, I wonder if anyone has every tried to winrar or winzip their ghost image file to take up less space... and if they were able to recover it afterwards. Heheh!

Hi, I read through the post which was very interesting and I ask the same question that was listed as a query.
Are there settings in the Nero Burning software that have to be set for the large dvd burns?
I am a Noob and don't know enough about what settings are in Nero. I am doing all the reading I can on DVD Shrink and have a basic understanding of it, but would like to know as this member posted here about settings in Nero for larger images or dvd's as sources being burned.

sounds promising but since I am running a domain with active directory. The DHCP server rejects ghosts attempt to connect to the nework to retrieve the image. I can only assume this is because it req at lest a win 2000 session key. And since the image is from before the network was a thought it has not been sysprepd so it cannt be RISed. so I am left with trying to write the image to DVDs

It doesn't. However it does relate to my original post (I started the thread) to see if anyone has found a way to take a very large file, such as a ghost .gho image in this case and spread it across multipal DVD-Rs using Nero or Roxio.
