Default split a 1.7gb folder onto 3 cdrs without data loss??

hey guys i need your help again

ive got a folder thats 1.7gb big and has 3625 folders and 23557 files ...

i want to put this folder onto 3 blank cds...

Aquire Nero you can drag and drop and there is a meter at the bottom to show when the disk is full.

did you try using winRar?...when you add files to a new archive you can choose how big you want each archive(aka .rar file) to be. i use it all the time. then just burn the archive files. one to a cd.

hope this helps.

Use winrar on its archive only setting, without the file compression it will take under a minute to split the folder into 3.
