amachoman4u Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I downloaded a game to my comp and my sister recently stepped on one of my disks and cracked it... Yeah, leaving it in the floor was stupid, I know. I have the image file saved to my comp, but it's 8.5 gigs. Is there any way I can put it onto 2 separate single layer DVDs? Will a dual layer DVD even hold that much? I don't have any dual layer DVDs though.

I don't have any dual layer DVDs though. pardon me but isn't that illegal, and you had it on dual layer(duh!) and you come here seeing if you can split it up, give us a break, how did it fit in the first place? methinks you didn't make the first dual layer
amachoman4u Posted September 28, 2007 Author Posted September 28, 2007 the game was a 2-disc game. i downloaded both discs onto my comp so i wouldn't have to use the disc for gaming. i have all the files. but there is one main image file. i can put all the files onto 2 separate discs, but then i'm going to run into errors if i try to reinstall it. lol, and yes, that WOULD be illegal
amachoman4u Posted September 28, 2007 Author Posted September 28, 2007 it was a 2-disc installation, but the game runs off of disc 1... if the game was originally on a dual-layer, then all i would have to do is burn it to a dual layer and my problem would be solved. what good would splitting up a dual-layer do me? lol, i'm not that computer savvy.
amachoman4u Posted September 28, 2007 Author Posted September 28, 2007 oooooh! i see where the confusion is. i used the wrong terminology. i said downloaded. to me that = install. sorry!
chewy Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 so you ripped? disk one and mounted it to play off of and left it in the floor for your sister to step on? very careless, but you might need a dual layer disk to burn that image or you could call the game manufacturer and try to get the disk replaced
amachoman4u Posted September 28, 2007 Author Posted September 28, 2007 very careless indeed. doubtful that i can get a replacement disk, but will try. thanks for your help.
