Problem backing up ps2 game, file too big?

Ok, ive used alcohol 120 to backup all my games and it works well, no probs. Well im trying to back up THUG now and its 4.34 gigs, aclohol tells me FAT32/FAT16 file systems cannot store files bigger than 4 gigs So should i set it to seperate every 4 gigs and will it still work? Or what should i do? Thanks for the help guys.

Use RecordNow MAX, follow the tutorial and get the download from here.

You may also need the PX-Engine Update if the DVD-R/W isn't recognised. Anyway, the link to the update is at the top of the tutorial if you're interested.

Hi

I encountered this problem a while back - its the format of your hard drive, i'm guessing you are using windows 98.

Its true about fat16 & fat32 file system - its maximum file size is 4gb so when backing up a game bigger than this the file is too big to be stored on your hard-drive as an image for burning. Windows 98 (and older) only give you these formats for your hard dive

The way I solved it was to upgrade to windows xp, during the upgrade you are given the option to change the format of your hard drive to NTFS. By changing to NTFS you are able to create files much larger than 4gb and so problem solved. The change of format doesn't affect your stored files either - all files and programs installed on the disk will be unaffected by changing to NTFS.

I believe though not positive, that windows 2k alows NTFS aswell but millenium doesn't (not positive - might be wrong on that point)

The only other thing I can think of to do without changing your OS is if you have a seperate dvd rom to your burner and copy on the fly without going to your hard-drive at all. I haven't tried this so it to may not work.

Good luck

owen

No need to update windows, The PX update lufcfan suggested will do the trick.

I dont think you even need to switch programs. I was messing around with Alcohol the other day and noticed it had an image splitting option. I didnt get to use it but I figure you can split your images just like RNM with that option.

Well im running xp pro, but i did notice the file splitting option, didnt know if it would burn right that way or not.

I couldnt get RNM to work with my pc, so i just used nero, copied fine but havent gotten a chance to test it out yet so i dont know if it worked.
