Red Hat 4 is VERY old, and unsupported...use the current release, which is 6.3. Also, you're asking for a program for your Windows system, to create an ISO...this is LinuxQuestions, so we may not have much for a question about Windows.

And two other things:

You can download a Red Hat DVD ISO image from Red Hat's website...why don't you do that?
Unless you're going to PAY for Red Hat Enterprise, YOU SHOULD NOT BE USING IT. Load CentOS instead.

Hi

Follow the steps for creating new iso bootable disk

Take any kind of linux machine with cdrom
Put your first cd into cdrom and mount your cdrom using this below command
mount –t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
cd /mnt
create the iso file
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/root/RHEL4_DISK1.iso

That’s it. You should use the same step’s for remaining cd’s

This doesn't answer the OP's original question. They already HAVE the ISO'S. They want create a SINGLE DVD ISO from FOUR CD ISO'S.
