So, I am rebuilding my DAW after installing a new C: drive (Upgrade to an SSD). Unfortunately, in an over vigorous clearout a few months ago, I threw away my Kontakt box and media. Using my NI account, I can of course, retrieve my serial number and go to a download page, which for Kontakt, is 6 ISO downloads. The first one being over 5GB in size, and the others likely to be as big also except for perhaps the last one. The problem being of course, that they are too big to burn to a DVD-RW or _R
 
So my question is, which would be the best tool to run ISO from disk, bearing in mind, the installer asked for each ISO disk to be presented in sequential order to complete the installation?
 
Thanks

It has been a long time since I did this, but I believe a virtual drive was the ultimate answer. I am on a cell here so us hard to search well, but this link has similar info which may help:

I seem to also remember using a program called "Orca" but forget the exact capabilities of that program (may not be applicable here).

I mount iso files with Daemon Tools Lite as a virtual drive.

Got that now, thanks. Looks like it will do the trick, now just got to download about 40GB of ISO's...thanks guys, I would much prefer to use a recommendation from the forum here than just have a random guess at which tool to use...

That was the program I was trying to remember! Thanks for the direct link.

I have used magiciso  and virtual cd, for mounting. Works great for kid's games that require a CD to be available.  And I use 7 zip for extracting and compressing.
