i take it you're using win98, or win98se, and fat or fat32 file system. ie your OS won't handle single files over 4GB in size. As far as i recall, WinRAR is no different to WinZIP et al, ie the file(s) have to be unzipped or unrarred exactly as they are inside the rar archive, so if it's 4gb in the rar it has to be extracted as is.

no worries; the whole system would have to be converted, ntfs is a more advanced file system; have a look here - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/47730
