Thread: Can`t extact files more then 4 giga in winrar

Well yah it keeps on telling me something about NTFS dose not support files larger then 4 giga any help?

Do you mean "Write error: only NTFS file system supports files larger than 4 GB"?
Drives formatted in FAT32 have 4 GB file size limit.

of course NTSF does support files that large, there must be some kinda error, maybe it think its 4TB

try redownloading

but first:
What OS do you have
Whats your PC spec
update winrar to latest version
try using 7Zip


I think FAT32 formatted drive have a filesize limit, not sure if its 4GB though ???

What OS do you have: Windows


I`m going to try to use 7Zip

OK.... did a lil research.. fat32 supports FILE creation up to 4 gigs... PARTITION creation up to 2 terabytes.... get another HD, format it NTFS, try it from there... best advice i can give ya, unless you want to reformat your OS Harddrive.. (don't recommend that)


p.s. since it's not winrar, it's the fat32 partition, when you open the rar file in winrar, make sure you save the file to the ntfs drive... u don't have to move winrar, just the created file and the original file needs to be on the ntfs

sounds like good tech support LiesHidden, lets see if it works for him

Ok I have a external hard drive I extarcted the saved file in there the same thing happened and when I extacrted it in 7Zip it tells me i have no space while I have over 100 giga

ok do a test, down load a game about the same size, but in winrar format .RAR

post back your findings

What do you mean by download a game as the same size?

he meant you have to download a game that is 4 gigs in size to see if it is the game file thats causing you trouble
