    Your not using Windows XP right? Or Windows 2000?
    Those exploitation systems can use the NT filesystem, which supports larger files and a larger hard drive.
    Any older filesystem will not let you have a 4Gb+ file on your hd. They are using FAT32 filesystem (which btw sucks)

    Basically don't use a FAT32 partition, just use NTFS.
    It doesnt mean you should delete the rar files.

    In english, if your not using win2000, winxp or winNT you can't use NTFS that I know of.
    If you have one of those systems installed, then you need to convert your fat partition to an NTFS one. If you don't have one of those installed, the files are wasted.

    p.s. you come across as rude.

    How were two words and a comma coming off as rude? Besides the fact that I said please and dont remember you anywhere in the equation, dont pass me off as someone when you dont have a clue about me. I'm not here HARDLY enough to be rude to "everybody" much less waste the time I'm here picking fights with people who have nothing better to do.


    I got XP today anyhow so it dosent matter anymore.

    Goat, as you are obviously too thick, I shall clarify what Norgus and Zorlon meant.

    In reply to a comprehensive reason as to what your problem was, you then infer that Norgus was typing in some strangely alien language.

    Goat, you are an idiot Sir In future please use the level of english used in the latter post, and not the atrocity that was inflicted upon us in the previous ones.

    Thanks dude.
