Help manipulating LARGE file...
Well, I've got a problem that I hope someone else can provide some insight into a solution for...
I've got a 3.5 GB ZIP file that contains a single 4.5 GB ISO file. I would like to burn a copy of the ISO to DVD. The problem is, I've got the ZIP file on a UDF formatted DVD+RW disk, and the burner is on a Win98 machine. When I try to un-zip the file to the HDD, I run into the FAT32 filesize limit - shiat. I also have a WinXP laptop which I can access from the Win98 machine via an SMB share, but when I try to Burn Image to Disk from within Nero on the Win98 machine, it misreports the ISO as approximately 10% of its actual size, and then hangs about 20% of the way through the process. The only other option I can think of is to rebuild the Win98 machine as an XP machine, but I'd really rather not... Any suggestions or ideas? |
Well you hit the nail right on the head. fat32 has a filesize limit of 4gb and theres no way around it i know of. Heres my suggestion, I would copy the 4.5gb file onto the XP laptop, Then on the 98 machine download an ISO of Knoppix Linux (http://www.knoppix.net/get.php). Knoppix is a Linux distro that comes as a LiveCD which you just boot off of and have a fully wokring linux OS. Burn the knoppix iso and boot off of that. Once your in knoppix there should be a cd/dvd writing program in one of the menus called k3b. From there you should be able to access the file from the WinXp laptop and burn it. Good luck!
