| 732653 | 2008-12-26 13:33:00 | When I double-click on a specific big item in WinRAR I get the message: "Probably the disk is full" or something like that... What can I do to stop this? I am from Norway but I hope you understand. :) |

| 732654 | 2008-12-26 19:12:00 | Well maybe it is - where are you trying to extract it to? | pctek (84) | ||
| 732655 | 2008-12-26 20:52:00 | When you double-click an item, its extracting it from the .rar file into a temporary location that your computer is able to run. When it does this, it uses more HDD space on your C: Drive (Unless you change the settings in the options). Basically, free some HDD space up |

| 732656 | 2008-12-26 21:02:00 | Yeah when you extract files with WinRAR it first extracts them to the Windows TEMP/TMP location which by default is on your C: drive. You can change the TEMP and TMP locations to another drive with more space if you want. E.g. D:\Temp Right click My Computer > System Properties > Advanced tab > Environment Variables > User Variables Click on TEMP and then Edit. Change the Variable name to something like: D:\Windows\TEMP Then click OK. Now edit the TMP value and change it to something like: D:\Windows\TMP and click OK 3 times to finish. That should put the temporary locations on another drive. Make sure you've created the Windows, TEMP and TMP folders on the drive as well. |

| 732657 | 2008-12-27 13:56:00 | If you are using XP, what file system are you using, Fat32 or NTFS (because Fat32 has a maximum single file size limit of 4GB, and will give you a "Disk Is Full" error as it says here) www.seagate.com You may need to convert your file system to NTFS as suggested in the above page. |
