I bought a WD 80GB usb hard disk from Harvey Norman for $80 because my normal supplier (about $60) was not open. I think the smallest you can buy now is 120 GB.
Plugged it into the high speed USB (my computer told me which one it was)
Partitioned it into 3 FAT32 partitions, 20GB, 30GB and 30GB. I Used Partition Magic but there are others. Then just copied each disc onto the 20GB partition one after the other. Each disc took about 10 mins. I was prompted for the overwriting of the common files and said yes. I watched a DVD on TV while I waited. I use FAT32 because it allows me to examine the disk with DOS 7.0. I tested NTFS but there was no advantage.
I used the other partitions to store a second copy of my back ups and disc images.
After that I ran my already installed DSS program and ran setup from the DSS menu and edited the CD Rom letter to the letter of the new partition.
Worked first go.
