this game is proabbly over the 3.999999 gb limit set by windows me,
only way round this is to upgrade to xp or another op sys that suports ntfs file system

Millenium doesnt work for me

since i upgraded to xp it went well

Hi, im having the same problem. I have a 60 gig hd, with well over 50 left. Im running XP pro. What do i need to do to be able to backup larger dvd ps2 games and how if possible?
Thanks

Hi Mate

All you need to do really is convert your filesystem to NTFS. there is a command for it to do that, I do not know it as i just blanked the fooka and started from scratch with XP. works a dream now.

All the best lads

To change from FAT 32 to NTFS for more stability and security, open the command prompt and type: "Convert C: /FS:NTFS". Make sure there is a space between the C: and the foward slash (/). Once you press enter it will ask you for confirmation and press Y. Then press Y and enter once more to reboot. It will take between one hour and 15 minutes to convert to NTFS. Now you can set passwords for files and use encryption. This also works for windows XP Home.
