1) Copy all files of CD1 into a empty directory. Copy all files of CD2 - CD4 without overwriting any files.

2) (optional) Create a new folder and put all cracks/loaders in it.

3) Burn the files to a DVD+/-R or create an image and name it anything you'd like.

I Have Just Purchased The WORLD OF WARCRAFT.
It European Version Retailed, Comes With 5 CD's..

I'm Trying To Convert It To DVD, Following Your Step Guide, All The CD's Have The Same File's.
Could You Give Screenshot On Which Files Are To Be In CD1-5 If Possible.
Im Confused.

Just start with copying CD1 to a temp folder, then CD2, CD3 etc. When prompted on CD2...(and also for the other CD's)
"Do you want to overwrite files"
Choose 'No' to overwriting.

Ok..

But All The CD's Have The Same File's.

Sorry Grumpy.

My Mistake Of Missreading The Files..
I Have Created It, Works On Other PC's But My Games Machine..

I Had Also Noticed When I Opened My PC That My PIONEER 110D & HARDDRIVE Were On 1 Channel, So I Have Put Harddrive On Seprate And DVD On The Other.

Will Post On How It Goes, Thanks

Well It Installed Perfectly.

I Think It Was The IDE Cables So Far So Good.

I'm a N00b!
 

Hmm. I've been starting with last disc and going backwards overwriting files... now I realize with your post.. how retarded is that..

I'm a Noob! :o

@Dieselbrad
Actually with some games it is easier to start from the last disc and do it the way you have been doing. ;)

Most Of The People Convert CD 1-4 What Is The CD5 For ?

Game Manual maybe??

I have had reports of different versions for different countries, and they have different numbers of CDs. But I am not sure of what is actually on disc 5.

We get a lot of games in Australia with an extra disc, it is usually a game manual.

There Isnt A PDF File, Or Help File's..

Seems To Be A Disc Required After Installation Ill Try It Anyway's.. :)

Most likely there is an updated version on your CDs.
WoW has undergone now 12 major content patches. The patch files on installation are currently 1,8 GB big!
I think, if Blizzard produces new client CDs, they integrate a more recnt version than the 1.0 client.
When did you bought your WoW and whats the version after installation?

Btw. i think the most sensible way of backing up WoW is
1.) install the game (can take quite a while)
2.) update the game to the latest version (can last even longer)
3.) (optional) install all your favorite AddOns (can last forever ;) )
4.) burn the whole World of Warcraft directory on DVD. Either on a DVD9 or create a multivolume archive using Winrar and spread it across 2 DVD5s.

WoW does not need any registry entries whatsoever, so you can install it simply be placing the files on the computer you want to play. Also the Blizzard updater and the downloaded client patches do not need any reg-entries. Just place them into your installation dir.

Wow!!! :D

Thanks, That Will Save A Heck Of A Long Time, My Version I Think It's 1.6 Build After Installation "I Think" ..LOL :)
