Here is my problem. I have a bunch of .rar files in Winrar that I am extracting to a single ISO file. Problem is the ISO file will be larger than 4 GB and my computer wont accept it because it is FAT system. Any EASY way around this? Short of trying to transfer all the files to a different computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Next time Use DVD Decrypter to make the .iso,
And there is a setting to split the files at the 2gb
mark for older systems.

Use dvd dercypter to burn the same files, (select the .mds),
And it will merge and/burn into one iso image.

If you downloaded the files there is no way expect transferring,
or converting your HDD to NTFS format.

Cheers!

Thanks. I was afraid that was going to be the answer. Just out of curiousity how would one go about changing the format to NTFS?

hamillp,
Welcome to the forum. If you are using Windows 2000 or XP then you can use the site below to convert as the instructions are there.

Just follow these steps if you want to convert to a NTFS files system:

1/ Click the Start Button

2/ Next click All programs, followed by Accessories

3/ In the Accessories drop down menu select Command Prompt

4/ At the Command Prompt type: Vol C:

5/ You should now see the following information:

Volume in drive C: is XP Home (or whichever version of XP you have)

Volume Serial Number is FF47-80EB (obviously yours will not be the same, but you get the general idea)

7/ Make a note of the Volume in drive details and the Volume serial number.

8/At the Command Prompt type: convert c: /fs:ntfs (Replace the c: with whatever drive letter you are converting)

9/ Press Enter

10/ When asked for the Volume Label for drive C: type XP Home (or XP Pro depending upon your current operating system)

11/ Press Enter

12/ Because you are converting the C: drive (this contains the operating system), a message will appear informing you that the drive cannot be converted. You will then be given the option of scheduling a conversion the next time you boot your machine.

13/ Schedule the conversion and reboot

14/ After rebooting the conversion should proceed as normal.

Thank you for the help and the information. I am running XP Pro. That almost sounds too easy.

I forgot to ask. Are there are downsides to converting the drive to NTFS?

In the conversion process, there is always the possibility of files being lost or deleted, so backup all your important files before beginning the process.
