It could be calling an old function (e.g. GetDiskSpaceFree instead of
GetDiskSpaceFreeEx.)  I don't remember the exact names, but I do remember that
the non-"Ex"(tended) version returns results with modulo 2 gigabytes.

To test and see if this is the problem, create a big file of garbage that exists
solely to eat up space, to get yourself down to under 2Gb free disk space.  Try
the operation again and see if it works properly.  If it does, send chessbase a
bug report.
