    Wierd file names, nothign works with em

    So i got this file and i dunno how to open it.
    There are three of them:

    "-----".B00 (1.915GB)
    "-----".B6I (2.097 GB)
    "-----".B6T (5KB)

    "----" because i dunno if i should say the file name! (not that it matter anyway)

    Any ideas please?

    Also im having trouble moving Disc images onto an external hard drive, keeps telling me the destination drive is full (450 GB free space!)

    Your External HD is formatted to FAT32 which has a 4 gig file size limit. You need to reformat to NTFS in order to copy those disc images.

    So i got this file and i dunno how to open it.
    There are three of them:
    Try Winrar if you haven't already.
    A couple of sites I've been working on if you're interested http://www.howtogetfaster.co.uk, [url]http://www.documentaries.me.uk[url] and a new startup http://thelocalseo.co

    First off thanks for the reply, i know how to format to fat32 but not to NTFS
    (guessing here "Start -> RUN -> Format X: /FS:NTFS"?)

    ive Found out what it is, apparently its a blindwrite format, ive read changing it to .rar will allow you to open it, BUT I CANT!!!

    It wont let me have 2 or more of the same .rar name but i have loads of things like that with the EXACT same name, 47 odd meg files that when u open they are the whole thing.

    so how do i make them all one file?? to open in winrar as one?
    help me plz!

    sounds like u have a load of files that originated from usenet lol

    open one of them and simply drag its content to where u want it then delete the rars easy

    all the parst are the same file simply split up for better sending
