    Hi, I have a file that is about 2GB with a .iso file extension, what I'm hoping to do is find a way to cut the file into three parts, burn it onto cds (I don't have a dvd burner thingamajig) then reformat my computer and put the file back on. Any thoughts on how to go about this? Thanks!

    You could use something like WinRAR to make a multipart archive, so that the ISO could be reassembled latter.

    Thanks Shadow Puter Dude! I'm trying it now, and in just 4 hrs I should have what I need! I've never used this program before, how likely is it for a bonehead like me to make coasters?

    As long as you are making data CDs, not likely. WinRAR is a File Archiver, so when you make a multipart archive it will resamble the ISO from the archive when you extract. Then you can uae a virtual drive to read the ISO, like the one that comes with Alcohol 120.
