Question Breaking Down Large WinRAR Files?

I'm trying to extract a large file in WinRAR right now with an unpacked size of 4.67 GB's. It won't extract anything over 4GB's using FAT32.

Can I extract the file in 2 pieces? If so, what do I need to do to insure it becomes whole again after it's extracted?

Thanks

There isnt a way around it if the compressed file within the RAR is greater than 4GBs; you cannot extract it into 2 pieces. Your only solution is to convert the partition to NTFS (which is a non-destructive conversion) or do it on someone else's harddrive with NTFS; and then try splitting it up there and burning it onto a DVD.
