HawkAgent Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Hi all,I've got a winrar file with a file inside it of 4,5 GB. I've got two harddisks, C:\ (FAT32) and D:\ (NTFS). My OS is installed and running on C:\. Like most of you know FAT32 has a filesize limit of 4gb. The rar file is on C:\. I tried to unrar it to D:\, which gave me an error saying only NTFS supporting filesize over 4gb. Probably the program is first unraring the file on C:\, then moving it to D:\. I also tried moving the winrar file to D:\, then unraring it from there, however it gave me the same error. I think my problem is that winrar uses a temporary folder in C:\, so it always has to go past C:\. Is there a way to disable winrar using a temp folder so I can unrar the file from D to D directly? Or maybe have winrar unraring it in parts of, for example, 1 GB, so the limit won't be exceeded?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarle Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 The Windows UI of WinRAR will allow you to set the temporary path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkAgent Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) thanks for the reply.There is a input box for temp folder, but option "Use only for removable disks" is vinked, so I don't think it will solve my problem...[edit] I just tried it, same results as mentioned in first post [/edit Edited December 17, 2006 by HawkAgent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringfinger Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Uncheck 'Use Only For Removable Disks', set the path to D:\. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
