Can't "ghost" 2.6 GB partition

Hi all.....i'm trying to use ghost to back up my WinXP system partition to another partition....both partitions are FAT32...

.....when i get about 60% thru the dump, i get a message saying "please choose new file to continue dumping to" or something.....like it can't dump it all to one file......but 2.6gb should be OK, no?

Any ideas?...Cheers

Sounds like you have it set to "split" the image over multiple files. What happens when you enter a file name to continue?

When it asks to create the second file.. just hit enter... do the same when reloading the image file.
