Cannot copy large files to my external hard drive

apart from the unix commands, this reminded of a program i had lying about, Split&Concat, which is a graphical interface to the same system.

One more solution. Download muCommander - it's free. It will remind to some of us the good old Norton Commander. The application can split files so it will do the job. Tested by myself with 10GB files.
 
i want to be able to get it onto a fat32 drive because my TV can play movies straight off the hard drive via USB. if i were to split it can i then recreate on on the fat32 drive so it is playable?
 
You can't store a file larger than 4GB on a FAT32-formatted drive. It is a limitation of the FAT32 format, and there is no way around it.

If you split the file into 4GB (or smaller) chunks, you cannot "recreate" them on the drive if the resulting file will be larger than 4GB.
 
whats the best way to split a mkv file into 2 or more parts so i can put them on the fat32 harddrive and be able to play them in their separate parts?
