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? >> Stay informed about: NTFS

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. >> Stay informed about: NTFS

If you know where the 2 bytes went, please let me know. 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. Virg Wall -- It is vain to do with more what can be done with fewer.
