Far Cry DVD to CD

It's possible by dividing the CABs into 5 folders, by copying all files/folders besides CAB1, CAB2, CAB21, CAB3, and CAB4 into a folder (for CD1). And by putting CAB1 in the CD2 folder, CAB2 in CD3, CAB21 to CD3, CAB3 to CD4 and CAB4 to CD5.
Open up Far Cry.msi with Orca and set Volume Labels under Media tab to the CD labels the CAB files are on. So for the CAB files which are on CD1: FARCRY_1, the CABs that go to CD2; FARCRY_2, or what-ever you like.
Next thing you do is creating images of the files. So don't burn them on CDs yet. As the following process might take many tries.
You will probably have noticed by now the folder Languages is 800mb+. These are normally spread over the other CDs. Now it's for you to find out which one belongs where. The only way to do this is by Installing the game and waiting for it to ask for certain files. Just put the files it asks for on the CD which currently is mounted. Once you've managed to succesfully install the game once żou can burn them to CDs.
