    Can't create an ISO bigger than 3.99 Gb

    As above, get an out of disl space error but plenty of Gb left, the files always stop at 3.99 Gb - any clues?

    You probably have Win98 as your operating system. If so, the harddrive's storage system is "FAT32", which can handle INDIVIDUAL files of up to only 4Gbs in size...

    WindowsXP can be setup to use the virtually unlimited "NTFS" harddrive storage system...

      FYI, NTFS has a theoretical filesize limit of two terrabytes, which coincides with Windows XP's useable RAM limit

        To reboot

        Your specificity, although technically accurate as most of us already knew, in no way affects TonyM's question or my response.

        (Two terabytes - NOT "terrabytes" - is certainly virtually unlimited filesize when compared to a problem someone is having with 4Gb filesize)

          I stand corrected. ter, terr...I always get that wrong
          Was just trying to shamelessly plug the advantages of NTFS.
