How to unrar a file larger than 4gb?

[crawford]

Winrar says it cant unrar because the disk is full, even though I have like 7 gigs free. Froom googling I gathered that this is because FAT32 file systems cant have files that are larger than 4 gigs.

So is there anyway to split up a rar file or anything like that?

it's probably because the file you're trying to unrar is over 4 gigs which means you have to unrar it to a ntfs partition

It seems thats the only way to do it, that sucks because im not gonna mess with that.

Shoulda gone with NTFS.

If you are running WinXP but use FAT32, it doesn't take long to convert your HD to NTFS.

Can I do it without losing everything?
