Guest Warren Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 I was trying to create an "Iso" file greater than 4 GB and received an error message that FAT32 does not support files greater than 4GB. Is this Windows 98 limitation, and if so is there a fix ? -- Warren No spam address used. Please reply to group only.
Guest Bill in Co. Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Re: 4GB file size limit in Windows 98SE? It is a FAT32 based limitation (and any operating systems that use it, including Win98SE). Windows XP and NFTS won't have that problem. If you can find an application that can split the ISO file into smaller sized chunks, and use it that way, that might be a solution. (I'm not sure if that is possible, though).

Guest Bob Harris Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Re: 4GB file size limit in Windows 98SE? ISO is generally an image of a CD (or a DVD). But, inside that image are usually several to many smaller files. Check to see whether the application you are using to make the ISO file has an option to split it into pieces. Or, possibly think about saving in some other format that supports multiple files of user-detemrined size. For example, try 7-zips, free at: http://www.7-zip.org/.

Guest Bill in Co. Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Re: 4GB file size limit in Windows 98SE? If it's an ISO for a DVD, are you talking about the .VOB files? If so, I thought it was almost standard procedure for program applications to limit those to 1 GB max for each VOB file. Maybe not. ??

Guest Otto Sykora Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Re: 4GB file size limit in Windows 98SE? It widely depend on what you have in the iso. If the iso contains just files , one can shrink it all. But if you have for example an installation DVD of a Linux(bootable) like Opensuse 10.3, there is absolutely no way to make any chnages to it because after smallest change nothing will work any more and it might even not boot any more. Such DVD can not be made of any volumes etc, simply one file. And such file will not be handeld by any FAT, and also can not be copied or downloaded by IE of any flavor and many other software. It can be stored to NTFS, provided one has a suitable tool allowing to handle it. "Bill in Co." wrote: > Can it do that to an ISO file?

Guest Lil' Dave Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 Re: 4GB file size limit in Windows 98SE? Only file size limitation I remember when rendering was that of 2GB including overhead for ISO 9660 format. Had nothing to do with FAT32 or what not.

Thanks for the link. So it's doable also under Win98SE then. Personally i haven't come in contact with files much over 1 GB yet, from what i've seen on both Game- and Movie- DVDs it seems files are split at 1 GB. I try to make CD-Images to use when playing games but haven't made that for DVDs yet because i use FAT32 for both Win98SE and WinXP and just recently found the software i mentioned below. > "... et al." wrote: > >> Lord Turkey Cough wrote: >> >>> "Warren" <nospam@nospam.com> wrote: >>> >>>> I was trying to create an "Iso" file greater than 4 GB and received an >>>> error >>>> message that FAT32 does not support files greater than 4GB.
