Having trouble copying Metal Gear Solid 2, using Primodvd it keeps telling me not enough space in temp folder, i'm running Win98 is it true its best to upgrade to Win2000pro or Win Xp (something to do with file size or folder size or FAT32 ) i dunno. Any Suggestions

Try this one matey (if you haven't already)
Change your desktop to a network server:

Control Panel, System, File System, Typical role of this computer: Network server

Do this and restart, this will automatically give you a bigger chunk of virtual memory.

Be lucky,

hi m8
its nothing to do with the memory (no offence reply 1)
you will find that metal gear solid 2 is over 4gb in size!!
Win 98 uses fat 32 to format your hard drive(s) and will not hold any file over 4gb. So unless you spilt it up
you will never copy it

UNLESS - - you change to win 2000, and use NTFS to format your hard drive(s) (and NOT FAT32).
NTFS allows files of over 4gb and will easy save a full dvd of 4.7gb and more.
then you can easily do your own PS2 backups

hope this helps
Enjoy
