Create a Temp directory on your hardrive and name it COD (This will be the name of our DVD.)
Download ‘Cueball’s’ 'Call of Duty CD-2-DVD CONVERSION' msi file.
Extract the rar file to the Temp directory.

Install Call of Duty (to the default location C:\program files\Call of Duty), make sure if you had it installed before you delete the call of duty folder 1st. Do not update it and do not apply any cracks!
Once it is installed copy the "Call of Duty" folder into the ‘program files’ folder that now sits inside our Temp folder. (The Temp folder you created named COD)

So it looks like:

COD
- >
Program Files
- >
Call of Duty
- >
(All game files)

From the Call of Duty CD1 copy the ‘DirectX’ and the ‘Extra’ directories to the COD directory.
(I am not sure if these are actually needed? I haven’t tested it! But as there are PDF files on the CD and the ‘Extra’ folder does contain the Acrobat Reader, you never know if you will need them!)

Create another directory, in the COD directory, and name it Crack. Copy the NoCD exe’s for both Call of Duty and United Offensive to this Crack folder.
Create another directory, in the COD directory, and name it Update. Copy the v1.4 Update to this folder. (This is only needed if you don’t install United Offensive! The v1.4 Update is installed as part of the United Offensive install.)
Create a Notepad text file and name it Serial.txt. Copy both serials for both games to this text file. (The serial for Call of Duty won’t be asked for during the install as you entered it during the original install therefore it is now saved as a ‘codkey’ file. Do not give this DVD or the codkey file to anyone or they will have your serial!!)
Navigate through COD\program files\Call of Duty\Docs\Help\Manual\ manual_uk.pdf. Copy the manual_uk.pdf then rename it to manual_us.pdf. You have to end up with a manual_uk.pdf AND a manual_us.pdf. This is to stop an error appearing during the install!

Create another directory, in the COD directory, and name it COD_UO.
Copy all the Call of Duty United Offensive CD1 to this directory.
From the United Offensive CD2 there is a directory called ‘Setup’. Inside the Setup directory there are 2 other directory’s called ‘Data’ and ‘rsrc’. Copy all the files from these 2 directories into the same directories of the same name! Do NOT overwrite any files though!
(So copy the files from the CD2\Setup\Data directory to the COD\COD_UO\Setup\Data directory and Copy the files from CD2\Setup\rsrc directory to COD\COD_UO\Setup\rsrc directory.)
Now using ‘Orca’ open the ‘Call of Duty - United Offensive.msi’ and go to the ‘Media’ section and change the 3 entries in the ‘Volume Label’ column to COD_UO. There is no need to change the entries in the ‘DiskPrompt’ column! Now save it and exit Orca.

Download my 'Call of Duty + COD: United Offensive DVD MENU INSTALLER' from GameCopyWorld. A pic of the Menu can be seen here.
Extract the contents of the rar file to the COD directory. Overwrite the Autorun.inf if asked!

Burn the contents of the COD directory to a DVD using the Label COD.
I would like to thank ‘Cueball’ for sending me the msi file he created! It took a few attempts but we finally got it right! Cueball deserves the credit for the msi file! And I would also like to thank ‘Reddraggon105’ for additional testing of the msi file. A big ‘Well Done’ guys.
