    Okay, so I downloaded an ISO from Megaupload, and it's in multiple parts. However, they are not rar parts or anything, when I open one in 7zip they seem to be mini isos or some shit. I tried combining them in 7zip, but when I selected the files the merge and split options became grayed out. WHAT THE HELL

    being an asshole =P
    Stupid question, but did you try to extract them all and then combine the extracted files? =P

    Extract the first file, it should combine them while doing so, though I'd expect there to be a .RAR or a .7z to start it all off.

    Yeah.

    You can always change the format. WinRAR does most of them anyway. Usually when an ISO is split apart like that usually means extracting the first file after you have all of em. It goes for everything else.

    Use HJSPLIT to join the files.

    Don't extract the files from the ISO - likely the ISO has special boot flags set (From what I can see, the ISO's bootable at the minimum) which would make extracting and burning the files in the ISO to CD/DVD useless - after combining the ISO parts, THEN burn it with an ISO burning utility.

    This.
     
  12. Yeah, cause it's not like Xkeeper and I told you exactly what to do without downloading another utility. =P
