I am about to rip my hair out over this one! I need a bit of help compiling three install disks into one DVD.
Here is the whole story: I have Vampire the Mascaraed: Bloodlines and my Disk 2 is damaged. So I ripped it to my pc and have an ISO (disk one) A bin and que file (disk 2 and 3) and now I cannot burn it to cds and have it work. I am using powerISO to create my images and mount them to try it out. I can get disk one to work, but during the install it asks for disk 2, (I changed disk 2 into a ISO from the Bin File) and when I mount it (using the virtual drive) it will not recognized that it is there. I've also tried to burn them as three individual CDs and still nothing.
What I want to do is burn them all to one disk so that I have only one DVD for all of it (and install without the install prompting me to change disks.)
PLEASE HELP before I eat my laptop!

Well its going to be very tough if your disk 2 is damaged already.Specially if its a original copy you will face a lot of trouble.Recently one my friend bought a Half life:Anthology dvd which he found to be corrupted.The shop owner refused to replace it,so he had to buy it again.
I can suggest you onething.Try to rip the contents of disk one to your pc.Merge it with the bin and que file(From disk 2 and 3).Now make a image of the whole content using powerISO.Then try to mount the image and run setup.exe.I am not sure that this will work or not but its worth giving a try.

I tried that (maybe I am not merging them correctly) Simply because it still asks for disk 2 during the install, which I can't mount or whatever because it is all merged together.
Yes it is my original disks and I haven't seen it for sale any where for years! It doesn't seem to be corrupted (the data from disk 2) however... well yeah I am still trying to install.
Would I unzip the bin into the same folder as disk one? or leave the bin whole and try it that way?
