Ya know, I've never burned a CD before. Heh.... :oops:
I bought some blank CD-R/W discs and a CD-R/W drive. The drive came with Nero Express 6, which I've just installed today.
I thought I'd like to burn the entire GameBase64 v3 to CDs. I have everything: the 4 big RARed .ISOs (is an .ISO file a CD-image? ???), the ZIPped DVD-box cover, and the fix-patch for CD1.
I've already installed the whole of the Collection onto my HD, but have kept the 4 .RARs, etc. around for this purpose.
Thx!

Burning the GB64v3 .ISOs to CD, properly

Heh okay heh I seem to be having trouble Formatting a CD, not sure if I have to do that anyway.
I've been..."formatting" disc after disc after disc with InCD, which came on my Nero whatever OEM disk. The best I've done is format a disk with a total space of 573MB, even though the discs are supposed to have 700MB space. 573MB is not enough space for the first GB64v3 CD...I guess.
What the hell am I doing wrong? ??? Or does InCD f***in' suck? ???

Don't use InCD, don't format it first, just open the ISO file with your CD-burning software and burn the contents of it to a CD. The ISO format is an archive/image format for CD's, just like ZIP for PC-files and D64 for C64 diskettes. With my version of Nero Express I can choose "disc image or saved project" from the main menu as mentioned above. After browsing to the right folder and opening the ISO file, nothing more is needed to do, just burn the CD!

Hey, thx!
All I hadta do was not format the disk and not use InCD, which I uninstalled.
It seems I was assuming that CD-R/Ws were like C64 floppies in as much as you had to format them to be used. Furthermore InCD seemed to suggest it.
Seems to me (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) that the only good InCD does is making CDs so that you can drag & drop into it like a floppy, at the cost of over 250MBs' space.
Thx, dudes! I got it done, freeing up about 2-and-a-half gigs of HD space! You guys rock!
