Won't always work, unfortunately... the problem with it is that if you have *one* file inaccesable, the installer will think it's on another disk... Disk 5. That file could be on any of the first 4 disks, and it could be permanantly inaccesable... leading to big problems. Making an image of each disk is the best way to go about it, but they take up so much room on your HDD it's not funny... almost 1GB per disk...
