Extract rar files over 4 gig

[hahaboi]

how do i extract rar files that are over 4 gigabytes?

[snowmonkey]

first of all . I hope you have tones of memory for that ,, you need to have Winrar installed on your computer first, do you have it ? http://www.topshareware.com/WinRAR-download-102.htm

then you just right click on the file and click on extract. that's it


cheers

it doesnt work, it says only ntfs can recognize files over 4 gig

Which Operating System are you using?

You need Windows 2000 or WinXP to use NTFS.

(My apologies if Linux and Mac are also capable)

i have win2k; is it possible to extract without converting the whole harddrive to ntfs?

[LooseChippings]

Nope.

You could try and get hold of an old drive say 10 GB, format that NTFS and try again.

To be honest NTFS is a much more stable File System than FAT 16 or FAT 32 and Win 2K is designed to run on NTFS.
