File Copying

Hi

I have problem copying from my DVD a 4 Gb image file to my HD (17 Gb left) I
getting this stupid pop-up saying "The file ???.iso is too large for the
destination file system"....eeh what? You're joking!! Got enough space in my
HD.

Sal

Is the hard drive formatted NTFS or FAT32? FAT32 has a 4 GB file limit.

Oooh....OK...I suppose formatted FAT32 .
Is there a way to converted to NTFS without deleting any files?

Sal

Yes, the command is convert C: /FS:NTFS
See this link for more information. http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/ntfscvt.php
It's also wise to do a backup first just in case...
