You are running on a FAT32 system hard drive.. there is a thread here somewhere already with info in it about changing it without loss of data.. can't remember the link at the minute though. you could try searching the words NTFS or FAT32 in this forum and see what comes up. I'll have a check for you too... what operating system are you running? windows98?

Ok, here's one way... but I think you lose all your data from the hard drive:
Quote:
This is how you can change your drive to NTFS:
Open command prompt and type the following:
convert driveletter /fs:ntfs "press enter"
drive letter = c: d: e: etc. (whatever drive you want to convert)
You will also want to back up anything important that is on that drive before you convert it.

It's weird that it's not already NTFS if you're running windows xp.. anyhow, here's the same way but explained better
Quote:
To convert a volume to NTFS from the command prompt
1.Open Command Prompt. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
2.In the command prompt window, type: convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs
For example, typing convert D: /fs:ntfs would format drive D: with the ntfs format. You can convert FAT or FAT32 volumes to NTFS with this command.
Important Once you convert a drive or partition to NTFS, you cannot simply convert it back to FAT or FAT32. You will need to reformat the drive or partition which will erase all data, including programs and personal files, on the partition.
so, you shouldn't lose the data going from fat32 to ntfs.. just if you wanted to go the other way.
hope that helped

Well, according to the guy who wrote that, there shouldn't be any data loss. Can't say for sure as I ahven't done it myself as I always check my hard drives are NTSF when installing them.
The main difference is that it can handle files over 2gb which is what you are needing.
so, it's up to you.. try converting to NTFS or buy another hard disk to put files over 2gb's on.

I just tried to convert to NTFS and it came up and said "the convert cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Convert may run if this volume is dismounted first. All opened handles to this volume would then be invalid. Would you like to force a dismount on this volume <y/n>" What does this mean should i just put yes?

First, you'll need to convert your system into NTFS like "paddymail" stated. Secondly, you'll need Apache 2 to extract the files, that is if ISO Buster can not do the job.
