It means that your hard disk drives are formated with a FAT 32 file system that only allows single files to be less than 4GB. Most ISO Disc Image files are larger than that. What version of Windows are you using?
the pc came with windows me i up graded to windows xp home its a sony p111 866 mhz with 512 megs of memory
you may want to change your file system to NTFS that will alow you to have files that are larger that 4gb.
Windows XP/2000/NT can use NTFS, FAT 32 or FAT file systems. Windows 98/ME can only use FAT 32 or FAT file systems. Versions of Windows that can use NTFS have a built in converter or you can use Partition Magic. One of the biggest problems when people make a upgrade from Win98-ME to WinXP is they skip the part at the beginning where there is the option to convert their drives from FAT or FAT32 to NTFS before installing WinXP. NTFS file system is what you should be using on XP. The only reason to continue to use a FAT or FAT32 file system is if you are also running another OS like Win98-ME or Linux on that computer. Even after installing WinXP you can convert your FAT or FAT 32 drives to NTFS. Open Help and Support and search for Convert NTFS to get complete directions or read this. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307881&Product=winxp Example: Click Start - Run and type. Convert C: /FS:NTFS Before you make the conversion to NTFS. It is a good idea to both defragment the drive and run a error check fixing both file system errors and recovery of bad sectors. Right click on your drive and select Properties and these options are on the Tools tab. When DVD Shrink 3.2 is released it will make split ISO files that will fit on FAT 32 drives. It is still a good idea to use NTFS anyway though.
it will not convert its reading the windows me that came with the pc will have to go online and get a new one. thanks for all your help
