Games On Cd Backed Up On Dvd

HELP PLEEEEASE !!!!

See I have some games that have multiple cd's with ..

When I run the installer, the games asks for the first disk,
then 2 , then 3 , then 4 th .. etc ..

But the Installer's looking for the LABEL name of the disk,
even though all the files are on the same DVD after I copied them all over
in their respective folders and location.

How do I make the installer not to look for Label 2 , Label 3 , Label 4 etc.
So I can backup my favorites game on a DVD and not have to worry about putting 5 disks every time I install a game and so I can do the dishes in the mean time.

Can Someone Help me please .. thanks !! ..

Talking making dvd backups of games

dude you cant be that dumb
havent you heard of *.isos Hdd Images you can mount !!!!!!!!
all you do is make the isos of the game cd 1 2 3 4 and then add them to the dvd as isos use clone cd alcohol or nero to load the image and install and play pretty simple!!!!

Yeah well ,

I'm not that dumb , I did that with WinIso .. I added the files to the first ISO.

For alot of games IE : Unreal 2k4 , Splinter Cell 2 , Thief 3 ... etc ..
This technique will work !!!

But when I try to do it on IE: True Crime , Manhunt , TigerWoods 2k4 ..
this technique won't work .. Cuz The Installer's not looking @ the Files on the CD but the Actual CD VOLUME LABEL... And it keeps buging me for the VOLUME LABEL 2 or 3 during the install even though all the files are on the ISO ..

What I'm trying to achieve is to get those kind of games to work on a single DVD ..

Thanks .. Anyone else can help me ?

Make ISOs of all CDs. Mount all the ISOs. Tell the game to look to the correct drive letter when it asks for the next CD. That should satisfy the label requirement.

i'm sorry, but this only works with install shield installation programme.
i haven't seen any custom made setup programme that is 'smart enough' to recognise that all files are on the same dvd
