Whenever I try to extract a large iso file from when there are like 60 separate smaller rar files, if it is a certain size, it always tells me the file is too large and there is not enough space. I have plenty of space and this only occurs on games like samurai warriors 2, something around 3.5 to 4 gigs big. Any help?

That's strange, i also knew some people with those kind of troubles with large single files. That happened because they were working with a FAT file system.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

How would I get around something like this, or did those people get screwed?

Actually it's very easy to convert, but you have to be sure that you're using a FAT File System and it causes the problem you're having, here's how you do it:

Just go to the Command Prompt and execute the command:

C:\> CONVERT C: /fs:ntfs

Where C: is a name of the drive you want to convert.

After machine re-boot conversion process will start and you'll have your FAT32 converted to NTFS without of data loss.
