every time i use winrar to get the iso file it gets to 4gb then tells me it cant save files of over 4gb and wont continue , can i adjust something to allow it to copy? i am pretty new to this.
Hi your problem lies in what format your hard drive is partitioned in, from what I can gather your setup is FAT32 and you will want this to be NTFS.
To check this first goto start,
control panel,
performance and maintenence,
rearrange items on your hard disk to make programs run faster,
and his will say under system probably either FAT, FAT32 or NTFS if it is one of the first two you will need to repartition your hard drive.
First off start by Backing up all important files on your computer preferably to either an external hard drive or DVD-R.
Next follow these very simple steps;
(Credit due to microsofts official page as it has been a while since I'v needed to do this so did some digging up)
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
2. At the command prompt, type the following, where drive letter is the drive that you want to convert:
convert drive letter: /fs:ntfs For example, type the following command to convert drive E to NTFS:
convert e: /fs:ntfs (remember where there are spaces also put spaces in command prompt)
Note If the operating system is on the drive that you are converting, you will be prompted to schedule the task when you restart the computer because the conversion cannot be completed while the operating system is running. When you are prompted, click YES.
Let conversion start when computer reboots and jobs a good un'!
I'm guessing he's trying to do it from a DOS situation OUTWITH Windows.
You need to be logged into Windows as normal, and your User has to have full Administrator rights, then run a Command Prompt & type the above command to format the drive to NTFS.
To open a Command Prompt click START > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
Then type the above command into the box that opens up.
