W2k large file problem

I'm running Win 2000 pro on my video editing computer. The
problem I'm
having is when I go to move a file of 4gb's or more from
one drive to
another the following occurs. The progress bar starts and
quickly the
"minute remaining counter" comes up with a
number, say 3 minutes
remaining. Then it counts down as the progress bar moves
accross. Once
it arrives at the end and the time expires, the
"minute remaining
counter" goes crazy with a bizzare number, like
147,489 minutes
remaining. This number fluxuates as the file transfer icons
show
action, but the transfer never happens, even though the
recieving
drive's action indicator(light) show activity. This goes on
until I
cancel the request.I haven't a clue what's going wrong
here. Hope
someone can steer me in the right direction. Thanks

Most 32-bit operating systems have trouble with files 4GB
and larger.
They just can't natively organize that much information. If
you can,
try breaking the files into smaller parts or use a program
like WinZIP
or WinRAR to split them.

Thanks, I was just too impatient. After the progress bar was
flashing
those hundred thousand minutes left for about 3-4 minutes I
figured it
wasn't going to happen and cancelled the request. Well when
I let it go
it finally got it together and gave the right info and
finished the
request. Thanks for your help...Terry
