    I recently downloaded an ISO recorder and virtual drive so I can run my games without the run discs in. I had no problem getting 3 of them to work (BG1-ToSC, BG2-ToB, and IWD-HoW) but when I went to create the ISO for IWD 2 I get the following message "Operation Failed. Code 8004021c, Reason: The disc cannot hold anymore data". I know that my hard drive has about 120GB of unused space and my external hard drive has about 420GB unused. What's going on here or am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks for any help.

    Daemon Tools is like the standard for running games from images. As for making the images you could give Imgburn a try. It can create an image from a disc as well as burn an image to disc.

    Lemme guess, what you're trying to make the image on is a FAT32 drive? You can't make DVD images to FAT32 drives, they need to be NTFS (or a more exotic format).

    EDIT: Technical explanation: Maximum file size for FAT32 drives is 4gb, and a DVD holds 4.7gb, therefore when you try to make a DVD image to a FAT32 drive, it says it can't hold any more data.

    It is NTFS and not FAT32. I will try either IMGBurn or Daemon Tools. Thanks

    ---------- Added 5 hours, 8 minutes and 19 seconds later... ----------

    IMGBurn worked fine.
