You could see if you can find an ntfs driver and reformat your partition (or a partition) as ntfs. It's not a win98 limit per se, but a limit of fat32.

It can be forced by upgrading to an os from this century.[/sarcasm]

If you have proper drivers and disable extra crap, ME is little better than 98SE

LOL..


To the original Poster:
Stop whining and get XP or 2K. As a man who's gone from FAT32 to NTFS I can say it's simply millions of times better. :wink: You might hate the interface, but you can turn most of the crap off. Yes, it (XP) is a bit more RAM hungry, but I don't think you're going to be working with 6Gb files if you have only 128Mb of RAM :eek:

What sort of file is 6Gb in size, apart from a particularly huge database?
