[freeman002]

hi ppl i bought the sims 2 and its on 4 cd's i would like to no if i can get them to work from just 1 dvd-r as a backup cos the idea of messing with 4cds doesnt really fill me with excitement ive already tried this but i get errors when trying to open the file compressed.zip it says its dammaged but it cant be cos the game installs fine any ideas on that i would like to make 1 zip out of all the compressed.zips so i can put it onto 1 dvd anyway thankz in advance for all replys

its ok done it made a full working backup onto dvd..also made 1:1 copy of cds and that works fine also with cd 1

Would be handy...

I can open the zip file with WinRAR...try it or the latest winzip version (WinZip 9.0 SR-1)

The install structures are totally different between cd and dvd versions.
You won't be able to do it.

I could if it was out in Australia yet...Which it isn't.

He was referring to 'Sims 2' This brings me to the puzzle "where did you get it from?"
