Solve : Power ISO - Not Enough Memory??

Answer»

Hi, I'm on a windows xp home laptop, and I'm trying to use power ISO to make an image of a DVD, onto my 8 gig USB drive, when the conversion reaches 99% Power ISO stops saying there isnt enough disc space to complete the process, have TRIED this a number of times with the same result.

 It doesn't make any sense to me as its a 8 gig USB, and the file is only 4.03 gig, I have done quite a few ISO files before with no problem, although I dont think they were over 4 g, anyone have an answer to this? I tried a google search for this problem but didnt come up with anything.....



The file size limit for the FAT32 file system is 4GB. Quote from: BC_Programmer on April 10, 2011, 09:05:03 AM

The file size limit for the FAT32 file system is 4GB.
So what does that mean? I cannot make an ISO file over 4 GB? Is there anyway around this? Yes...
Change the XP file system from FAT32 to NTFS...
Make sure you have the system backed up 1st...

Wow, that a major thing to do to my laptop it seems to me, dont want to play around with partitions, think I will pass, thanx for the info....
Nice to see you still around here Patio, you have been a great help to me in the past, cheers.... Good to seeya again as well...
It's not quite as complicated as it sounds...as long as you have good backups you should be good to go...I will after I get an EXTERNAL hard drive to back up everything, dont want to take a chance until then.....Use Macrium Reflect....Free Home version...

You owe me a Pint !

The file system is only per drive. Your system drive is undoubtedly already NTFS, the problem is that the drive you are trying to save the ISO to is using FAT32. You can change the filesystem of the USB drive using a command such as:

Code: [Select]convert F: /FS:NTFS

Or, when you get the external drive you could use it; it will probably format to NTFS by default so you will be able to store files >4GB on it.Nice catch...BC...didn't think of that...

Cool, did that and trying to convert to ISO now, will see in 30 MINUTES if it works.... Quote from: patio on April 10, 2011, 09:47:48 AM

I will do exactly that, and I think I owe you MORE then a few pints.... OK, thanx BC, this time it finished without the disc space error, but that leads me to another problem I was hoping would be solved after that fix....
I have had this problem alot lately and not with just this DVD but others, dont know why, the ISO finishes with no errors, but when I go to burn it or whatever, files are missing, my first clue something is wrong is the file doesnt look right, i.e. it doesnt have the gold ISO ICON, its just a white file like this-



So then I right click it and open the file with power ISO and get this?-



Only 87% done? No wonder files are missing, this same thing happens if I use Magic ISO, I dont get it....
Anyone? My SISTER is driving over to pick up her DVD tonight and if I cannot figure it out a gotta cancel her coming over.....
