Hey Tech Whiz Gurus out there,

I am trying to unzip a 8gb file, but i keep getting an error! I know that we have to use a NTFS formatted hard-drive, and I have double and triple checked that my drive is indeed NTFS!

I came across a guide last time that we have to tweak a registry setting in windows to allow it to recognize files bigger than 4 gb! But i can't seem to find it on google.

Please please help me! I am desperate!

Thanks guys!
