Is there any way to copy files in chunks/ I have a 600 mb files that I need to get off an external hd but the drive overheads and disconnects after a few moments.. anyway to crab it in parts (like 200 mb at a time)? Thanks!

Click to expand...

overheats you mean? try a fan...

anyways...how about a file splitter? split it in to smaller parts and copy off...however, if the drive is unreliable, it might not make it through the splitting operation..

freeware splitter
 
I'd freeze the drive and then try copying the file off to see if you can grab it before the drive overheats.

Failing that, set up an FTP server on one computer, share the drive, then connect to it through, say, FlashFXP. FTP supports resuming broken downloads.
