Back up using XP
I tried to back up my harddrive using the backup software in windows.
However, at about just over 4 gigs, it said it had to stop as it was unable to copy files bigger that this size. How do I get around this problem? Thanks in advacne for any help/ |

Back up using XP
You cannot create a file larger than (2^32)-1 bytes (this is one byte less than 4 GB)
on a FAT32 partition.
