I have a file zipped in rar format and I can't seem to unzip it onto my harddrive. I get the error message that NTFS is the only file system that allows 4gb+ files. Is there anyway to unzip it without having to reformat my harddrive to NTFS?
Bah, I wish I'd of known that earlier! I went through the trouble of moving files around, resizing partitions, and then reformating. Oh well, at least if I ever have to do it again all I have to do it change the file system.
I would of went NTFS a long time ago but I'm a big gamer and a lot of the older games I enjoy playing think I'm running NT instead of XP. I'll have to do some more research into and see if its changed any lately.
No normal program cares what filesystem it is running on. You can happily run even DOS programs off NTFS. The only problem may be short filenames - NTFS doesn't necessarily create short equivalents to filenames.
