Well, for Final Fantasy XIII, just extract each disc to a separate folder. Then cut/paste the contents of the second disc into the first folder and click yes to overwrite any folder BUT NOT files. Then do the same thing for the disc 3 contents. Finally you should have one folder with all the contents from all 3 discs.
You can extract the discs into separate folders onto the usb hdd, then do the cut/paste from their. The reason that you don't want to just extract all 3 discs in the same folder is because the program you are using to extract the disc is just going to automatically over right the files you don't want to over write (If you do it this way, you might have to delete the img.key file to get the game to boot & I'm not sure if you'll run into any issues or not).
If myself have use this method (extracted 3 discs to separate folder then cut/paste), and I am currently on disc 3 Chapter 11 of the game (There are 13 Chapters in the game).
The disc swap occurs during the transition after Chapter 4 to Chapter 5 and between Chapter 9 and Chapter 10.
I was originally playing with just the 3 discs extracted into separate folders and thought I could just save during the transition from Chapter 4 to 5, but when I got to the loading screen after Chapter 4 there was no option to save (like with pretty much every chapter and major cutscene) and the game was just trying to load the next chapter without any message about switching discs.
Once I cut/pasted the 2nd discs contents into the 1st discs, the loading screen from Chapter 4 to 5 loaded fine, only then did the game ask me if I wanted to save or not (Which is kind of weird and backwards). I assumed this same thing would happen between the transition from Chapter 9 to 10, so I went ahead and cut/pasted the 3rd disc contents in with the 1 discs folder, and didn't run into any problems when proceeding to chapter 10.
As for other multi disc games you can refer to this thread and it should answer most of your questions:
