[bdman32]

Hi guys,

i am trying to create an instalation dvd for my computer and i have my .wim wich is my image and i need to put it on a dvd, one problem, it is 12GB, so how do i span the image accross multiple (prob 3) DVD's

i only have single layer DVD's

Did you save your windows installation to wim files? (using tools like imagex)
If so you better do a simple "system image backup" instead

yes it was captured with imagex, i need the install dvd's because they are being distrabuted to people who have truble turning on a computer so a back up is not an opption

thanks

"people who have truble turning on a computer"?
what do you mean by that?

You might try Vlite which has the ability to span multiple DVD's but you are in uncharted territory trying to make a bootable Win7 installer at 12gb on DVD's.

Believe it or not, recovering using Image on external from booted DVD/Repair CD might be easier. It is easier than Repairs when I walk noobies through it on the phone.
