Hi
I have recently installed a NEW DRIVE(250 GB,SLAVE) and partitioned it as NTFS to be able to handle large files,
but for some unknown reason when i try to unpack a large (over 4.5) zipped file to this new drive i GET a error saying :-

Disk full to handle files this large i need NTFS  

im confused!!Let's find out what you have. Click on Start -> All programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Defragmenter. On the top-center you will see your file system. What does it say?

[glb]Flame[/glb]Hi, it says:-

C(C :)                        FAT32             146GB           1.86GB
New Volume(J :)        NTFS               233GB           229GB

im using xp proyes 1.86 GB is what is free on my master drive,but would converting from fat32 to ntfs lose all my data on that drive?

and yes i copied the unpacked file (2.5 gb) to the new drive and tried to unpack it there but without any luck,which surprised me as i THOUGHT ntfs was able to handle files larger than 4.5 GB.

would something i did when partitioning the drive have something to do with it maybe primary/logical??

the drive is a Digital Western 250 gb,could it be that
windows needs up to date drivers for it?

To unpack the large file(on the NTFS drive) im using winrar which is installed on the fat32 drive would this make a difference?
