ok basically i have the source data for windows ready to burn to DVD...but i have a computer that doesnt read DVD's. is there any way to split the windows install directory across multiple CD's and install that way?

Lemme guess all done by addons right?

Then no way can you split it.

Nope... The way to go is really slim down XP with nLite to fit on a CD or you can go the WPI way and use a separate HDD partition with your silent install files
