I really don't know, but from microsoft technical information (the first or second hit when googling for "FAT32 size limit"), the limit they specify in FAT32 is 2^32-1. I may be wrong, but with 32 bits you cannot address more than 2^32 bytes, I don't know how can you create a bigger-than-4Gb file in a FAT32 filesystem without resorting to tricks like this: forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-20689.html Looks like FAT-32 (don't ask me how because I don't know the internals) can store a file bigger than 4GB, but you cannot *save* it. So you won't be able to put the file you have back to any FAT32 filesystem, I'm afraid. > Have you a solution for the case ?

That limit is a hard limit as far as I know. Google for "FAT32 limit" and you'll get a lot of answers telling it. I don't really know how did you get a bigger than 4GB file saved in a FAT32 filesystem in the first place ;)) Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to...
