Any way to make windows take files larger then 4gb ? - GoFuckYourself.com

Mailer · 12-08-2004, 08:11 PM

I'm merging lists, and as soon as the file is 4 GB or over, it freeze and act like there is a full disk .

Any way to change this ?

You need to have your hard drive in NTFS format.

convert you're file system to NTSF instead of FAT32

Good idea.

Mailer · 12-08-2004, 08:37 PM

Ok ... there is no way to switch from fat32 to ntfs without totally formatting the partition right ? (removing all data on it ?)

And how should I do that ? partition magic ?

Under Windows XP, go to Start -> Run and use the following command:

CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS

and give it couple of minutes to finish. And yes, you can use it for different drive letters, too

I won't loose any of the information on the drive right ?

It's not any more dangerous than having your disk defragmented. I suppose that if you're about to cut the power off while your disk is being converted, there's some risk involved, but I'm not quite sure. I've had all my disks converted with no problems couple of days ago.

I converted my Fat32 2nd drive to NTFS today, takes 1 minute and is painless. Just close everything else down and it'll be done before you know it. Only thing to be wary of is foreign characters in file names. Inside the actual file is fine, just file names. Apart from that everything is easy as pie.

I've converted FAT32 to NTFS b4 and lived

Doctor Dre · 12-08-2004, 10:39 PM

Damn I was wondering too

reynold · 12-09-2004, 12:24 AM

i guess you need to change FAT 32 system.
