Is imgburn able to burn files too large for one disk?

Trying to burn windows 2010, but the files are too large for one CD.

How to burn windows 2010?

If you have a large (> 4.37GiB) ISO you need to burn, you'll have to buy some DVD+R DL discs. Splitting it won't work.

Plus, what do you mean by "burning Windows 2010?"  I didn't know there was such a thing.  And do you mean copying the install disc?  Or installation files?  Or backup your entire Windows partition?  If you're trying to backup your entire Windows installation, you're better off using a disk imaging program.  You could backup the contents of your Windows installation to, say, a Blu-Ray or 2, but if you need to restore Windows, restoring individual files usually won't cut it.  Plus, with disk imaging programs, you can generally restore individual files from images.

Disk imaging program???

 

What is the difference between ImgBurn and a disk imaging program?

[dbminter]

A disk imaging program copies sector by sector of a hard disk drive partition.  For instance, if you just backed up the Windows files, you can't just restore all of them and expect Windows to start.  You have to restore a disk image of the Windows partition in order to get Windows to start if you need to restore Windows.  ImgBurn doesn't do that.  Now, if they're non-important non-system files, you could always copy them with ImgBurn.

 

 

It depends on what you want to do.  If you want to copy a Windows installation disc, ImgBurn can do that.  If you want to backup Windows, ImgBurn can backup the files, but it cannot backup the various boot sectors, etc. that Windows needs to start.
