Subject: {Slightly O/T} Maximum file size on hard drive

Is it possible that a drive has a maximum file szie set?

I have a 30GB hard drive onto which I'm trying to place the ChessLib opening
book for Chessbase.

Someone sent me the opening book in 10 Win RAR files which when I "unRAR" them
are each 530MB in size.

I then tried to combine them using a free program called "splits", but it
refused to combine all 10, saying my max. file size for the drive is 4GB.

Not sure whether my ancient pc would handle trying to load a 5.3GByte opening
book.

Any expert feedback would be most appreciated.

Regards,

Daz
