C&C First Decade DVD backup

Anyone got any ideas how I can split the dual layer dvd of Command & Conquer so I may back it up to 2 single layer dvds?

I think it can!

I used ReWritable DVD's to test though, and this was doing a COMPLETE 9.8GB install

1. Copy everything except the DATA8.CAB to DATA14.CAB files to one DVD. You don't need a volume label for either DVD.

2. Copy the DATA8.CAB to DATA14.CAB files, launcher.dat and the 'support' folder to the second DVD.

3. Install from the first DVD and when asked 'Please insert disk 7 that contains the file data8.cab' insert the second DVD and continue installing

Better still, you can copy it to 13 CD's if you want

So, its 100% confirmed that the game will work backed up this way??

Also, will I able to install just 1 game, or I need to install the whole package??

Thanks!
