    There arwe 2 reasons it could be doing this:

    You have FAT32 file system on your hard drive that cant suport files that big. You need NTSC file format on it.

    Or you dont have enough space to ectract the file onto your hard drive.

    Actually it's NTFS [bold]New Technology File System[/bold] is the standard file system of Windows NT and its descendants Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

    yeah i missed typed that LOL

    All of it tends to run together when your reading and typing about Video movies and games being NTSC and PAL how to play 1 on the other etc etc. Then your mind play's tricks on ya and miss type NTSC when you ment to type NTFS.

    it could also be that you have an older version of winrar that wont do files over 2.1gb, you could also try winzip, i believe it does the large files as well.
