I have the same problem as the user of the above thread.

I recently got a 4.2gb ISO image in rar files. After extracting it by WinRAR, I received the follwing error:

" There is not enough space on the disk.
! Write error: only NTFS file system supports files larger than 4 GB"


I've tried to understand and use most of the solutions and program mentioned in the above thread. However, I still cannot find the solution. I will be grateful if anyone can help me.

ps. Please use simple English as I am a Chinese :-P
If I have any grammatical mistakes, please state them.
If you find any better presentation, please tell me.

hi

you must be on a pc that use FAT32 which means it doesnt like files bigger then 4 gig and yours is 4.2 gig

we all use NTFS file systems on our pc's well most of us

if useing xp pro go = http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/co...

To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt
1.
Open Command Prompt. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.

2.
In the command prompt window, type: convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs


For example, typing convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the ntfs format. You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS with this command.

Important Once you convert a drive or partition to NTFS, you cannot simply convert it back to FAT or FAT32. You will need to reformat the drive or partition which will erase all data, including programs and personal files, on the partition.


Nothing here to see, move along folks.

Are there any ways that I can simply convert my WinXP from Fat32 to NTFS without formatting my disk drive?

Yes.

You can go from Fat32 to NTFS without reformatting.

It is always wise to backup data prior to this, though -- (for example, what happens if the power goes during the conversion process?)

You will not be able to go back, without a complate reformat and starting over.

@Kaho_chee:

1. Go to start menu

2. Go to RUN, type CMD

Thin will take you into a DOS command prompt

3. Type CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS exactly as you see.

4. You'll get a question: Enter current volume label for drive c: the answer is <ENTER> cause I am 99.9% certain the installer that done your O/S did not enter a name--> So you skip that part with an <ENTER>

Simple as that mate
