Cutting files in half?

[Catchen22]

I downloaded an iso file but it is 6MB too big for a 700 MB CD. Is there a way I can cut the files in half or something?

You could use Winrar or Winzip to break it up into pieces. With WinRar, set compression to Storage so it won't try to compress the file.

Also, why are you burning the ISO file? I only do that when I make a perfect ISO rip of a copy protected game and I want to keep it for later.

Somebody told me I had to burn them onto a CD before I could play the game. Plus I need to back up the files anyways. Is there another way to play the games without burning them to a CD?

I think you want a program that READS .iso's and then burns the contents. Off hand, I can't remember which programs burn ISOs, I haven't used one in awhile. I just looked through Nero and it didn't seem like you could use a .ISO, but I might have missed it.

Below is a link to some great software. No install, just run the app and go. It can even create a .bat file to splice it back together, so you never need the original program again.

and its free Best file splitter I've ever tried

Also, look up DaemonTools for playing without burning ISO files.
