I created an image of the hard drive. It stops at about 4Gb. Why?

R-TT - FAQ
You have likely created the image on the FAT32 file system which has a 4Gb file size limitation. Therefore larger files can not be created there. If this is the case, we would suggest that you either use NTFS (through network or attaching the drive to a Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 box if you are running Windows 9x/ME) or split your drive into regions each less than 4Gb, create their images and make virtual volume set afterwards if you need to recover files from there.
