Hi, hope someone can help, I have an old photo program that came with 5 discs, the first one of course is the installation, and the others are content discs, I would like to be able to put all of these discs all 5 or all 4 of the content discs onto one dvd, whenever i am using the program, I have to keep inserting one or the other of the content discs, and it is a pain, to keep changing the discs, so would like to know if it is possible to put the 4 content discs onto one disc so that the program would find whatever disc it is asking for at the time, like disc 2 or disc 3 etc, on the one disc that i could leave in the drive when I am using the program to save time. thanks, k

kathiesawada, hello. You should use space on your hard drive instead and use software such as the freeware Virtual CloneDrive. You would make an image of each CD that will be stored on your hard drive. CloneDrive will "mount" the image and it will show up as if it were a disc in a CD drive. You can mount all 4 or 5 CD images at the same time with CloneDrive, but each will have a different volume letter. For example, you could have 4 virtual drives with volumes letters of F:\, G:\, H:\, and I:\. The only question then will be if your *old* program will be able to recognize all of the drives.
