i DL a file from a Bt agent of a well know annimation package
and it is a huge program but when i have done its in iso but there is 3 cds to burn but within each there are around28 winrar'ed files each containing a iso and cue file so how do i burn them just extract them all to one folder? or ??

i know how to burn a basic iso file on my Nero 6 but this iam unsure of how to go about with it having the multiple WinRAR files per 1 cd to burn

the files WinRAR are called iso-m71a.r21

there is a iso-m71a.sfv each files is listed as around 14 meg big but if i click open with WinRAR it shows a huge 415.586.640 size bin and a iso cue files of 75
so i figure when u clik on one it shows the whole file / program can some one advise me if you can get my gist on this issue :D iam grateful in advance

Use Daemon Tools to mount the 3 CDs and then use explorer to go into each of them e.g. CD1, right click on only ONE of the multiple files like iso-m71a.r21 and extract the files somewhere on your hard drive, repeat the process for the other 2 images and then delete the files that contained multiple files like iso-m71a.r21 etc.

So basically the big image file has been split into numerous 14mb files but when extracted from just one, it will combine all of them split parts and give you the finished product.

Daemon Tools uses what is known as a virtual drive. When you load an iso file onto it mounting is effectivly puting your virtual cd - the iso file - into the virtual cd drive. Did that clear it up for you?



Get back to me...

*edit - wrong technical thing lol*

A little less technical answer:
Daemon Tools allows you to make a virtual CD/ DVD drive- this tricks your PC into thinking that an image file like iso, bin, cue, nrg etc are real CD's thus saving you the hassle of burning onto CD or DVD.
To mount, you right click the Daemon Tools icon in your system tray (after installing) then go to Virtual CD/DVD-Rom, pick a drive then mount the image. Hope that helps ;)
