    i just downloaded something thats over 4 GB , and because my file system is NTSF it cant reconize files over 4gb so i need it to be fat32 , is there a way to make it fat32 without loosing my files or reinstalling my windows , or just anyway for me to be able to use this file?
    any help will be really appreciated and u will get 20 credits

    NTFS is above Fat32 so that might be another problew in your comp, are you sure you dont have Fat16

    well, as far as I know you would be F'ed because if NTFS does not support it, no other windows supported file systems would.

    Yeah, NTFS is newer, so why something would work for fat32 and not ntfs is beyond me
