Just need a quick piece of help. I have a game which is in lots of winrar pieces. I click "extract here" on the first one as I have with all my other games. However, when the extraction gets to around 95% I get an error box saying that FAT32 doesn't support files over 4gb. Fair enough but I thought that FAT32 was supposed to automatically split the file in two, creating two iso files and a .mdf file, and I know that I just have to burn the .mdf and the iso will join up on the disc. Is there a way to sort it so that it splits the files as I really want this ISO but I would rather not convert to NTFS. Could it be something in my settings?
By the way I am running Windows 2000 (urghh!)
Sorry if this has been addressed before but I searched everywhere and couldn't find it. If it has been answered before could someone point me in the direction of the thread I need?
I don't think WinRAR split the file for you? I have a feeling you might be able to do this with IsoBuster or UltraISO, but as I don't have any file on my computer I can't test this (also I'm fortunate enough not to use Windows :P)
Try to use IsoBuster/UltraISO to open the rar file and see what it does :) Sorry can't be more help than this :(
It not WinRAR that I want to split the file is my actual system, FAT32. I can't get to the ISO to use ISObuster becuase the ISO is trapped in a rar archive that I can't exract becuase it's over 4gb.
What I meant is to open the rar file with IsoBuster, and see if it does anything, NOT use IsoBuster on the iso file itself, I know IsoBuster can open rar files... I'm not sure if it will do the conversion for you though, but its worth a try I guess
If that doesn't work then I think your last option is to convert to NTFS... you can do that by using the following command:
convert x: /fs:ntfs, where x: is the drive letter
I've googled this problem and there doesn't seem to be a way around it, now... I didn't find anything which talks about extracting ISO file from rar files, so I'm not 100% sure if its doable or not, be great to know if its possible though :)
looks like I may have to convert, is there any risk in doing this and are there any noticeable differences between the two systems apart from file size handling?
The conversion is fairly save, unless you decide to unplug the power half way through the conversion or something...
As far as pros/cons go, the major issue is that if you ever use something like Linux, then you can't access the data (easily) in the NTFS partition, because the NTFS specification is a Microsoft trade secret, apart from that, you probably can't even tell the difference after you've converted it :)
