Quote:You MUST have your Hard Drive partitioned in NTFS (NT File System) in order to handle the large files that are generated when you copy disk files and Images to the Hard Drive. If you are still running FAT 32 disk partitions, on that old machine, you will have to change it over. I am hoping you are at least running Windows 2000 or better as an OS. Don't even attempt it with Windows 98!
Only if your dealing with ISO files. If your using FAT32, just stick to Video_TS files and you'll be fine.

Famous last words!!!
It's just NOT worth the chance you are taking in file corruption, Flip. I have been down that road and learned the hard way. You are on thin ice with FAT32 formats no matter what Large Files you write.
To each his own, my friend! We may just have to agree to disagree on this one...
lol ... nah mike I actually do agree. NTFS is the way to go. Less problems and more options that way.
Just stating if you are using FAT32, you just have to stick to Video_TS files.
And the lastest DVD Decrypter fixed the issues with FAT32 and ripping in ISO mode. It creates two ISOs both under 4GB and uses a .mdf file to merge them.
NTFS is all well and good, but for my many many 100s of successful burns on FAT32 (granted they are video_ts file mode rips) prove that there's still plenty life in FAT32. I've since gone NTFS but only cus i could, not because FAT32 didn't work.
I've only recently stopped using Win98/FAT32 as i've grown to like XP after all. I tend to stick with an OS many years after it's demise or perceived demise.

@smsmike - no malice involved, i am just a bit pedantic when it comes to details :)
But to get back on topic, Jane1 seems to not have been who she claimed to be. Rotary and me helped her a lot on what i think was her first post - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/198553 only for us to start to wonder if she really was a PC noob; and subsequent posts seem to have confirmed she wasn't what she claimed to be and was hanging out here, for what reasons who knows..
