Help !!!

I have NTFS partition and I cant save any file larger than 2 GB.
As I remember, NTFS partition should be able to save files as big as free
space on the hard drive.

What can I do to enable that?

What exactly were you trying to do in order to create
this >2GB file?

Are you sure that it's NTFS?<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Update your application. NTFS may be capable of larger files but if the app
uses 32 bit signed integer for address manipulation (2^31=2GB) then it
itself is the limiting factor.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Actually, according to the gospel of Microsoft, the maximum FAT32
file size is 4GB minus 2 bytes. If you know where the 2 bytes went,
please let me know. Wink

Non Win32 applications must use Int 21 Funct 6Ch, specifying the
EXTENDED-SIZE flag. If they do not, they cannot open a file larger
than 2GB minus 1 byte. Otherwise they will return ACCESS_DENIED.

It's standard, you don't have to enable that.
I don't think you are using NTFS.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
