AND I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY! :( :( :(
the hd is not full.. there is at least 10 gb more..
when i went to the official Fedora site they said:

Note: If you are using HTTP or FTP to download, some download clients cannot handle the DVD image because it is larger than 4 gigabytes. Please refer to the documentation of your download client for details.

but i still dont know how to solve this problem, so i contact u..
please help me find a way to fix this!

thank u and have a nice day

1. If you really want to try FlashFXP you should use the latest publicly available trial version (at the moment v3.0 build 1015) instead of a cracked (read: obviously unsupported) release candidate that has expired for some time now.

2. FlashFXP supports files >4gb without any problem. Though FAT32 doesn't and those files can only be handled correctly using NTFS partitions.

1. sorry, i don't really understand about those things, a friend i know just gave it to me in order i could download the linux..

2. so what can i do?! i do have FAT32.. there is no way i could have a file that is more than 4 gigabyte?!

[bigstar]

Nope, there's no way you can do that with FAT32. You need something like NTFS

[Daemonlior]

k.. thank u again!

(and now i really understand why fat32 is so suck.. i was need to choose ntfs on the win2k installation)

[thop]

if you're using win2k or winxp you can convert FAT32 partitions to NTFS on the fly via the convert command. notice the conversion only works FAT32->NTFS, not NTFS->FAT32.

just enter in the dos shell (cmd.exe):

convert DRIVELETTER: /FS:NTFS
