[Question]

Hello Community,

I've created an unattended DVD which is larger than 10 GB. How can I split it into 2 or more DVDs?
I want to copy all Files from $OEM$\$1\Install\ on the HDD first and then begin to install them. Can I do this by using the CDSWITCH ultility? If i can do it by this way, how must the foldertree look like?

Greetz to all


Question!

10 GB is really a huge data just for UAXP

USE Double sided, dual layer discs which can hold up to 17Gb of data.

Hi.

This might not be what you need but...

You could have the first disk as a normal Unattended Setup, install your apps, then when that disk has been used up, have the batch file advise the user to insert disk 2, then have it wait, put in disk 2, copy to hd and continue as before.

I don't know of a way to break/span installations across multiple disks, although obviously it is possible. I do remember seeing something on the net some time ago about it, and I think there was a small program that you could put on the disk to do it, but can't remember.

Mind posting what you're installing? That's gotta be one system!

And 350MB for the lot? How do you even have a working Windows? Mine was 280MB for Windows alone, and that's with all the hardware and wi-fi support!

10Gb... Wow... You know, your system will really be bloated.

True, but depends on what his/her programs are. My FS2004 directory cmes to about 15GB all on its own.
