    I have a .iso file that is to large to go onto my FAT 32 HDD as it is more then 4GB in size.

    What program can I use to split it into to files and then combine it on my other computer? The other computer is a windows machine.

    HJ-Split has a Mac version. It works pretty well in Windows, but I don't have a Mac to test it out on. Then again, there's always WinRAR.

    I told you not to format in fat32. I knew I would see this thread, not really saving you effort now is it? :p

    I got it to split the files with hjsplit. It was very easy to work and free. I like that even better.
