Could someone help me? I am wanting to burn a 4 gig file onto cdrs. I
have a bunch of computers that don't have dvd drives, just cd drives so, I
need the cds in install the program. Most are not networked.

There are several options, each of which requires rebuilding the file
onto a hard drive before installation; in general, an installer not
built to run from a sequence of discs will not do so.
1. Use a free splitter such as HJSplit to divide the file into CD-sized
chunks, then the same program will recombine it.
2. Use ZIP or RAR to compress the file while splitting it for CDs.
De-archiving will restore it to a single file.

The problem is that I cannot burn cds after splitting with HJSplit as
HJSplit puts an extension on it that the burner won't allow, ie, .001, .002,
etc.
I thought that I read in HJSplit blurb that it can burn split CDs but it
does not say how.

Once again, HJSplit burns nothing. Either your reading or your memory is
in error.
Of course, you cannot burn split files as audio without recombining
them, but I have never heard of a mastering program which cares about
the extension when burning a *data* file (i.e., to CD-ROM). If you would
release the secret of what program you are using, someone may know it
and be able to advise you.
Once again, Mike, I am using my own burning program which is Nero 8. Nero
won't burn the split files from HJSplit because HJSplit puts an extension on
such as .001, .002, etc. I told you this in a private email.
Have you ever split a large file with HJS and tried to burn it and, if so,
what burning program were you using?

You can burn any kind of file to a data CD that you want. The extension
doesn't matter a bit. The individual files must be less than 700MB so
they fit on a disk. Repeat: you want to burn a DATA CD.
Nero 8 will not do this. Perhaps, I am using Nero incorrectly but I AM
trying to burn split DATA files of less than 500Mb.(from HJSplit)

You must be doing something wrong. I don't know Nero 8, but it would be
absolutely, insanely wrong for it to not let you.
I use Nero 6, and it can burn any kind of file, no matter what the
extension. I just start a new Data CD from Smart Start, and drag 'n
drop the files I want to burn onto the interface. Alternatively, you
can use the menu option Edit | Add Files and browse around to add
files. Can Nero 8 be that much different? This seems like the most
basic functionality that every CD-R burning program must have.
