Files larger than 4G

Is there any particular reason you don't want to convert to NTFS (really, "convert <drive letter>: /fs:ntfs" seems easier)?
You'll have to extract the file to a file system that supports files that large.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yes, with the exception of the built-in encryption and compression features; those slow things down considerably. (Really, though, Windows needs a file system where, at the very least, fragmentation isn't really an issue. Ext3 for the win!)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

You can always get an NTFS boot disk...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I would expect people to be more skeptical due to the fact that it's straight "from Microsoft's mouth."
I can say from experience, though, that I've never seen a conversion go wrong.

How ya doing, buddy?
