Answer 1

Either rar to split it into parts, or extract the individual files from the iso with something like imgburn and make a new iso at the destination.

Answer 2

You can use a file splitter/joiner utility to achieve this. HJSplit and GSplit are two good options. Both are freeware and very easy to use. HJSplit is a 344 KB file that does not need to be installed. A portable edition of GSplit is also available with no required installation.

Answer 3

There are various File Splitters that work in DOS. Then use COPY /b file1+file2+file_n Originalfile to reassemble.

Answer 4

WinRar is quick and easy.

Answer 5

if you're on linux you can do:

split -b 3G big.iso part

to split the big.iso into 3GiB parts named partaa, partab etc.

then use cat to put the files back together:

cat part* > big.iso

See man split for more information.
