Or that you fell into the same trap I did? I upgraded from NT4 SP 6 to
Win2K SP2. Existing NTFS partitions apparently didn't get upgraded to
64-bit and choked on 4+Gb files. New NTFS partitions added since to new
HDDs were in 64-bit. Solution (for me) was to back up the dbs and restore
to new disks.
