hi,
i downloaded a game from a programme and it came as a TAR file. I installed WINRAR and unpacked the file. it has 2 cd folders. I want to burn each cd folder to a seperate disc e.g folder cd1 to a sepertae cd than folder cd2. but when i do using nero, as an bootable image the folder just comes up. i cant do anything with it then except fot explore it. I would really appreciate it as i knwo there are some computer geniuses out theer. iw ant the game to boot up like a normal game. Thanks.
Deepak.

why do you need it to boot up? Can you just find the setup files and install it..then you won;t need it to boot up.

I'm not sure what .tar files are, but look here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/tar.html

http://directory.fsf.org/tar.html

It looks like you need to get some software to get the files you need.
