Problem with extracting a 4gb file.

[Shixx]

Alright I downloaded Swords of the new world a MMORPG. and it comes in like 40 Winrar parts that equal to Little over 4gb.
I'm extracting it from the Rar into the same Folder and it transfers.. then is says it failed due to there not being enough Disk space, my External Hard drive has 50gb Free space so that can't be the Problem.
All I can guess is it's copying the Movie to my Temp Folder first, or something is there anyway I can get around that or Fix the Real problem, I really want to play this game.

P.S-
Weird thing is I'm extracting it to my External but what runs low on Space is my Main Drive "C".

extract it into your pc hard drive first and then see if you can transfer it over

how much space do you have in your regular hdd? and if the files are about 4gb total it could mean the complete file is about 10 gb, it was compressed into a .rar file and you need about 14gb space or so total to extract it - i am only using 10 gb as an example

.Rars are parts of a 4gb file and my PC HD has 10gb free. I tried Extracting it to my C it works but then I can't copy or cut it to my External.. For some reason.. I could install it now but the fact that my external has 50gb free and says it can't fit 4gb bugs me.

it could be your computer then...some type of problem not allowing you to move files to your external hard drive - the same problem may be stopping the extracting process - i can't really help any further than this without actually seeing the computer and the hardware specs

Yeah I give up, I relly need a new pc. My pc was built in 2002.

just 7 years....computer technology has improved a great deal since then - my old pc was built in 2003 - i had to get a new one earlier this month (custom built) to keep up with everything. But computers are fairly cheap these days, shouldn't be too hard to find a new one

good luck with that :)

you can also try and wipe your hard drive and start fresh on this pc and see if it works

You'll need an NTFS or ext2 file system (or any other that supports large files!). Are you still running on FAT32? If you have access to a machine with a better file-system, you may be able to extract the file to a network drive.
