I only recently started to do video editing. The other day I
downloaded the video footages of my sis' wedding to my comp, and the
avi file is larger than 4GB, about 4.2GB

Now the problem comes. I can't move that file, nor copy it, which
means it's stuck at the "my pictures" directory. It seems that XP can
only copy and/or move files that are smaller than the 4 GB size,.

I know that I have the option of getting a new comp with Vista
installed, or I get the 64-bit version of XP, or I can cut the big
file up into smaller portions. But they aren't the thing I am looking
for right now.

So let me post this question to all the gurus here:

Is there a utility or whatever that can help me copy the entire file
to another drive partition ?

Thanks for any suggestion that you may have. Thanks again !
