In order not to post new thread, I'll ask one more question. I've got a problem (on Windows). I've downloaded a big file (4,5GB) and when I try to copy it to my PMP (7GB free space) I get an error that disc is full. I don't know why, because I can copy lets say 8 films to it. Does anybody have an idea what can cause the problem?
Regards

There might be some limit on file size (for example 2GB).

P.S. If you want to ask an unrelated question, always start a new thread.

So how can I change this limit?

If it exists, you can't.

If it has a FAT filesystem then you have a 2gb limit.

That's bad. If I've got 4GB iso archive, how to move it to another computer, than? Regards

Split it into two files 2GB each. Cut and cat might help you :)

I'll unpack the archive to a folder, move this folder and empty iso file to antoher computer, then I'll put folder in the empty iso archive. Is that good solution? Regards

My solution didn't work. I can't erase files from iso so that I could copy empty iso archive

How to split it, then?

wysota suggested cat and cut, unfortunately these are Unix utilities but there are hopefully some win32 ports (http://www.atnetsend.net/computing/#textutils).
