[QUOTE="mifundum, post: 823746, member: 46425"] Hey! Actually i have 2 issues that relate. 1. The actual problem that i have is that i want to copy large files from my macbook to an external hdd. The problem here is that with a external hdd (windows fat-32) it is not possible to move larger files than 5gb or something! If the hdd would be windows ntfs, mac wont read it and i cant move any files to my hdd. So this is crazy, because i dont want my hdd to be mac os extened since windows wont be able to read that!! AAAAH So: is there a solution to have my external hdd to be accessible from both windows and mac and to be able to transfer large files!? If not: 2. I would like to split the large files either dmg, iso or zip or whatever to smaller files so that i am able to transfer these to my external hdd. For example i have a 7gb dmg i want to transfer to my external hdd, so splitting it in 2 should do the job. Furthermore, i heard this is possible with toast, if so how? And i dont want to span to discs, i then would like to span within my macbook on my macbook hdd. Please help me, this windows/mac issue (why cant they get over it!) is crazy and will become a much bigger problem in the future since the files are getting bigger every day! mif [/QUOTE]
