The Data disks.
If downloaded they will need to be extraced and/or made in to vitual cds, Caterpillar sis doesn't work with rar files.

a. make a vcd of each extracted disk and keep them where you keep your vcds
b. burn real cds and insert them as nessesary
c. leave them in the folder they were extraced to, in the folder will be a vcd image, this is what you will insert in your vcd drive.
