Not enough space after extracting

[seasider]

Can someone help i've downloaded nzb file.

I put it through quickpar than extracted the rar files.But after it extracted it said not enough space, than came up with 4.5gb.

I find this strange because i've got more than 13gb left on my hd,this is not the first time it has happen to me the last time i deleted the files and redownloaded the film just incase i made a mistake.

The rar files start from 1 and end no 89.
Any thoughts as to what the problem could be?
Thanks.

I know this may sound stupid, but I'm gonna tell it anyway...
FAT32 formatted HDD only support filesizes up to 4GB
(you easily convert a FAT32 formatted HDD to NTFS through the Disk Manager)

In some programs there is a setting that will stop you from performing an action that would bring your free hard drive space from going below a certain level.

Whatever program that is giving you the error has this safety net.

It is not the file.

Do i have to purchase the disk manager, if so witch on is best as there seems to be a lot when i googled disk manager.

no, u can use the in-built disk manager of windows.

u can use the following command:

convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs

where instead of drive_letter u should use the letter assigned to your hard drive (C, D etc.)

good luck
