Anyone know how to burn a 30gb software package to multiple DVD's so that it works and installs correctly? Or even if it's possible?

I want to install something that's on my tower PC onto my laptop.

Can't you install from usb stick or portable hdd, or even memory card for that matter

Yeah I could, but I'm a bit anal sometimes I like to have a lot of backups in case something fails lol.

Will probably do that for the installation, but would ideally want to try and get them on disk too.

The term used to burn a large program to multiple installation discs is called spanning . the process has been around for years . HP/Compaq ,Acer ect. all use it with their Recovery Cds/Dvds that they either provide You or there is software installed on the PC which allow You to "burn" Your own set of rescue discs .

Ghost does spanning , so does Nero and UltraIso is good to go as well . Use good quality media such as from verbatim and Your set should last thru many Years/installations .
