4GB file size limit in Windows 98SE?

PARAGON seems to have read-write NTFS drivers for win98, and these are not
too expensive.

They also have drivers to read-write to/from EXT2/3 from win98.

The 4 GB limitation is due to using FAT32.

Great. Thanks for the link. So it's doable also under Win98SE then.

Personally i haven't come in contact with files much over 1 GB
yet, from what i've seen on both Game- and Movie- DVDs it seems
files are split at 1 GB. I try to make CD-Images to use when
playing games but haven't made that for DVDs yet because i use
FAT32 for both Win98SE and WinXP and just recently found the
software i mentioned below.
