okay.. first off no piracy blah blah and you know the rules. ;) My problem is a little different.

I was wondering since i just got a new dvd-burner with dual layer, is it possible to transfer all my 5 cds of baldurs gate with expansion into a single dual layer disc? So during the installation and eveything its all one single hard drive. Do you know any programs that can do that?

i hope this is a legal discussion. after all, its my collection of bg2 that is being transfered or backed up into a dual layer dvd disc.

any suggestions or good freeware programs?

I know its possible to just copy your files from the disks and install from that, so I suppose if you just copied all the files across to the HDD, and then burnt it all onto a DVD (you wont need a Dual layer disk for this) Instead of asking for DIsk-whatever, it will need to know the location of the next file, thats when you find the file on the DVD which should be very easy, and click ok.
I think.

<span style="color: lightblue">It will work, kindof. You will still need to install TOB separately. So, copy all of the SOA disks into ONE folder. That is, leave the directory structures on the CDs as they are, but root them at the same place. It will not work, or it will bug you during install, if you put them in folders like cd1\[contents of cd1]. Don't be thrown off, though, by the fact that CDs 2 - 4 have folders "cd2", "cd3", and "cd4" on them - these stay as they are.
Copy TOB into another folder.
Burn both of these folders onto the DVD.
Run the SOA install. Once it's installing, it will not bug you.
After it's done, run the TOB install.
