Hi, I have a huge problem. My system is FAT 32, and I am trying to back up Onimusha, Dawn of Dreams on my external HDD, which also is FAT 32, but I have read that you cannot copy over 4 gigs. Is there a way around this? Am I stuck with only copies that are under 4 gigs? There has to be some way to solve this, it will get to like 91 percent and then boom, there is not enough disk space on you HDD, even though I have about 30 gigs free. Any ideas? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

the only real way around this is to convert your hard drive to NTFS, which is a better all around system anyway.
You can do this without losing any of your information.

Yeah, large drives should always be formatted to NTFS, particularly if using an NT Operating System like Win2000, NT or XP. Its a much more stable file system. Using FAT32 in this day & age is like still using BetaMax videotapes & recorders.
Obviously if you're only using Windows95/98 then you're stuck with FAT32, since those can't use NTFS.

LOL, such great analogies. Yeah, i really have not used a FAT32 system in about 10 years.
