[Question] Extracting Files >4GB

[TerrorKiller]

So I downloaded a 5.5GB DVD ISO Image. The file came in several 100mb .rar files and when I doubled clicked on anyone of them it brings up the full ISO File which I tried to extract, I started to extract it using WinRAR and around 70% (I guess it hit the 4GB mark) an error pops up telling me something along the lines that I must use NTFS to extract files over 4GB. So, Can someone tell me where I get NTFS or any other program and how to use it to extract my file?

Are you extracting these files to an NTFS-formatted volume?

Can someone tell me where I get NTFS

If you're using Windows 2000 or Windows XP you can convert the drive with the following command:

convert X: /FS:NTFS

Replaced X: with the drive to be converted. If this is your C: drive, I would recommend just backing everything up and reinstall choosing NTFS as the drive format during installation. The reason is because Windows 2000/XP apply different security settings to drives formatted with NTFS than they do drives formatted with FAT32. If this is any other drive then you can convert it withing any worries (you should still create a backup before converting the drive).

As for a way to bypass that, I do not know if there is any but I doubt it.

There's no way to bypass it. This is a limitation of the FAT32 filesystem.
