DVD Video - DVDs, Win98 & 4Gb file size limit

07-06-2005, 07:06 PM

Hi,

Is it possbile to work with DVDs using Win98?

In particular I am thinking of the 4Gb file size limit of Win98's FAT32 file
system. If I want to create an iso image of a DVD on my 40Gb hard drive,
CloneDVD is complaining that my drive doesn't support files larger that 4Gb.
I can repartition the drive to have a 10GB (for example) NTFS partition
(that does support files > 4Gb) but this partition will not be recognised by
Win98

I really do prefer Win98 to XP but cannot see a way around this problem.

Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated

TIA

Better get used to Win XP is all I can say. Or Win2000 at least.
