About 3 years ago I installed XP on a 250 gb FAT-32 partitioned hard drive and installed Adobe Premier CS3. It had no problems creating large video files that spanned the 4 gb file-size limit of FAT32. Wow! How absolutely unbeleivable! Now you are telling us that you broke the binary limits of the FAT32 file system! No. I'm telling you that Adobe CS3 knows how to write to FAT32 volumes and that it automatically creates output files of 4 gb each as it's writing to the drive. Don't be so juvenille about this. |

Simple. Acronis doesn't have the brains to split it's backup files into 4 gb chunks. Which is a useful feature the user might want even if it was being written to an NTFS volume. Splitting a file in multiple segments of less than 4GB and then saying that you created files greater than 4GB on FAT32 I've never said I created files greater than 4 gb on FAT32. I said that for sufficiently smart programs, they know that they should truncate their output to 4 gb and simply create a chain of output files. That way they can effectively deal with the 4 gb file-size limitation of FAT32. And I still say there are practical and ergonomic reasons why you'd want to divide large files into smaller chunks (1 gb, 4 gb, etc) regardless what the file system is capable of. |

No, this is more of your BS and obfuscation to try to make readers believe that the 4GB file size limit is a non issue on FAT32 and that creating multiple segments is your elegant way around the problem!

Now you are telling us that you broke the binary limits of the FAT32 file system! The BS never stops...what next? Actually, what he said in another later reply (so as to obfuscate the issue, as usual) was that a feature of Adobe Premier CS3 automatically saved the large video file as a group of smaller files that were each under 4GB. This is typical 98 Guy "debating" tactics, to leave out relevant info till later, to alter his statements, to throw in irrelevant info to obfuscate. I've read this argument over and over every time he decides to re-hash it, and he apparently likes to waste time re-hashing it regularly even though we've all read it before many times. He likes to argue for the sake of argument...it's not debating. With his "200 years of computer experience", he considers himself much more knowledgeable than anyone here. I believe the correct term for him is "******". -- Glen Ventura MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 CompTIA A+ http://dts-l.net/ |

A log file of web-server hits is created daily. At the end of each day, the current log file is closed and the next log file is opened. I can access these log files on our local LAN, and I can even copy an image of the current log file from the NT4 server to my machine. Every time there was a power failure, not only would ALL the data in the current log file be replaced with nulls after the server was rebooted, but so too was the data in the 14 previous-days log files. Their file size was not altered or changed - but all the data they contained was replaced by nulls. A fine example of NTFS journalling. Well this is plainly simple, it is a testament to your incompetence and ineptitude that you would be running an outdated program on an outdated operating system that runs an old, different and completely outdated NTFS version! This problem was corrected on Windows 2000... John |

... snip Are you using XPSP3 Home or Pro Edition as the host OS? Pro, it appears. That was what was on this DELL before the HD failed and he gave me the computer and the CD's that came with it. If you find the old Connectix version 5 does not do all you want, try the newer free version, Virtual PC 2007: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/e...displaylang=en I would rather have newer! Thanks. I read, probably in the wikip entry for this, that it was free for a while after MS bought it, but it also gavem me the impression it wasn't anymore. No time now to go reread it. I'm happy to have the new version. Thanks. It's been free since Microsoft bought it, AFAIK. -- Glen Ventura MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 CompTIA A+ http://dts-l.net/ |

He only recently acquired and installed NT4, he was posting on the NT4 groups as "NT Guy" not long ago when he first ever saw or used NT4. As for him not using a UPS after experiencing problems after his first power failure that is just more of his 200 years of inexperience showing. He probably mounted his NT4 disk in a later NT machine not even knowing how this would affect the NT4 NTFS file system... John |
