writting 4GB files into a FAT 32

has anyone done this WITHOUT reformating the target drive to NTFS?
How?
I`m trying to back up all data from VISTA to downgrade my laptop to XP, 2000, or Ubuntu.
thanks

you could partition the existing hard drive and move the files you want to back up to the second partition, after that you can format and instal XP or Ubuntu on the C partition.

I`m trying to copy some files (data and OEM recovery files) on an external HD that has FAT 32. I already copied many files into it and I can`t format the ext HD to NTFS w/o having to copy everything again.

Can Winzip break down files to, say, 3 GB size?
