Splitting into 4 GB chunks worked. On the linux side: split -b 3900m -d /mnt/ext3/foo.tar.gz /mnt/fat32/foo.tar.gz. On the Windows side, where E: is fat32 and F: is NTFS: copy /B E:foo.tar.gz.* F:foo.tar.gz BTW, Linux had no problem creating a FAT32 filesystem on a 60 GB partition: mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sda2 Regards, - Robert http://www.cwelug.org/downloads Help others get OpenSource software.
