Hi, Everyone
I am having some problems while making a ISO of GTA SA (4.19 GB).
It says
FAT32 volume does not support image file exceeds 4GB, continue anyway?

If I say YES then it goes fine until.....(May be to the last point before 4GB)
Then it says File write error
I AM USING ULTRA ISO TO MAKE ISO.

If anynoe has the answer then please reply
THANK YOU ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED

only thing i know that you can do is convert your FAT32 system over to an NTSF system.
You can do a search, there are plenty of guides out there that will tell you how to do this without losing your info.

I would do that if I knew how to do that.
What if it renders my PC unusable

Thank you!!(x4) steimy!!

1)Just one more question( no two more!) after converting to NTFS is there any other possible way to convert it back to FAT 32 without formatting(Hence losing all data)?

2)I am definatly not the first one to have a fat 32 and try backup a 4GB+ IMAGE(OF ANY KIND) Then how come no other person faced a similar problem?

your not the first one, i have seen this same problem posted here many time. FAT32 has a file limit, that is just the way it is. And i do not know any other way around it myself. Plus if you are running Windows XP your PC will probably run better with an NTSF file system.

And as far as i know, and the guides i have read, there is no way back to FAT32 without formatting. So do as much research as you can and ask around before you make up your mind and do it. Personally every computer i have owned over the past 10 years has been on the NTFS file system.

I thought FAT 32 was the the newer and the better one.
as for the formating I will have to wait for my dad to show up tommorow as it's he's PC.

No, most older systems were FAT32 and most newer systems are NTSF
Over the last 10 years i have had a Compaq, Dell and one i built.
They all ran/run on NTSF with Windows 98 on the oldest, Windows XP on the Dell, and Windows XP Pro on the one i built.
