Putting my 4cds onto 1 DVD disk.

[KnightStalker]

as title says, is it possible to put all 4 cd's onto a DVD disk so that it installs from the DVD disk and then i can leave disk 4 in the drive?

any help on this would be most greatful

you can put thze 4 cds on the DVD but the auto installation won't work:

You'll have to unzip all the  files of the game properly and create the enters in the register. Enjoy it !

so is there not an easy way of doing this, i know the auotinstall wont work, but from what you described it sounds difficult.

[Valentin_RA00]

Not really difficult uf you know exactly what to add in the register but very long

[KnightStalker]

any guides you know of that could help me do this, as getting all 4cd's out everytime is getting quite annoying.

...mm....Not sure why it is a problem as it would most certainly take longer to install from a DVD than to put in the four CDs and auto install.....lol.. sounds like it is a regular feature of yours then this reinstalling, is there some reason for this?

....You don't HAVE to have the #4 CD in the drive either if you get the "No CD fix"..........commoner

im currently testing pc parts, new hard drives, mobo's, cpu's, graphic cards full time, and i use FS2004 amongst other games and apps to test certain parts of the systems, so its useful for a fresh install of fs2004, just find it a bit of a chore sticking in 4cds all the time.

...'nuff said KnightStalker, but the choice is like "Hobson's Choice"..........really no quick way....commoner

it can. i did it and it works for my own p

I think I'll have to try this... ...!

that makes me think that most probably FS2006 will be released in DVD format, instaed of the expected 6+ cd's

GTA: San Andreas is out on DVD, so it's been done before

FS2006? I don't think so. Perhaps M$ is sick of even numbers and now want to switch to odd. FS2007...

(NB: Its just a speculation.)

And if you get it wrong you could cause som serious damage to your PC.

What's the big deal,i even place all the downloaded planes,direcx9c all the stuff ,there's enough space inside of DVD-R is 4.7gb wich after tryin to fill it i just got to 3gb still 1.7 left,there's a risk you have to recorded at 8x or slower if you recorded fast data things like *.cab tiny things may not get recorded well because this devices are developed for most *.mpeg home movies,and I think is Absurd that fs 2006 will come in a device developed for a dvd  home made movies.

You could try creating folders cd1, cd2 etc and copy the contents of each cd into the appropriate folder then onto a dvd. It worked once with office on about 15 floppies onto a cd and it worked fine except for the autorun
