a total freebie and EXCELLENT for very quickly and easily splitting and joining files.Īlthough I realy don't think this is a particularly good way for this problem The re-format to NTFS is more like the best solution. To restore the 7GB original, you generally have to use the same program that you used to split the files, so it does add a bit more work to making and restoring backups.įor the above purpose. This way you can split your 7GB file up in 2 files of 3.5GB that can be safely copied over. I think the compression-program WinRAR can do this, but there are bound to be others.
You'll need to format your harddisk to convert to NTFS though.Īlternatively, there are tools that let you split big files into several smaller files. To overcome this problem, you need a file system that can handle larger files, such as NTFS.
And with 32 bits, there are only 4294967296 possible file sizes it can handle, which makes 4294967296 bytes the upper limit on the size of files on a FAT32 disk. The file system on the drive is FAT32 and one of the properties of this file system is that it uses 32-bit data to store the size of each file.
