114137 2003-01-15 18:00:00 In my video and audio editing I require files sizes larger than 2Gb which W2000 limits me to. There was no limit originally but since updating the OS, this limit now applies consistently and inhibits my work greatly! Any help would be appreciated. JohnO <john@orams.net.nz> JohnO (3004)
114138 2003-01-15 18:09:00 What file system is your drive currently using? - Fat32 or NTFS, as [supposedly] because Fat filesystems drives impose these restrictions, you can use NTFS to remove the file size restrictions.

In other words, convert your drive to NTFS as this is the best way forward for a lack of file size restrictions.

convert c: /fs:ntfs

That'll convert it for ya :)
