Knowledge is Power

Transfer a file over 4 GB on a Mac to a PC without splitting the file, using Linux.

Macs are great machines, they really are, but they have some quirks.  One thing I ran into was that I had a 8 GB file on my Macbook and I need to get it on to a PC.  The problem is, if you transfer a file over 4 GB from a Mac to a USB Drive (formatted as Fat32), the file gets split.  This creates many problems, so using Ubuntu Linux, I found a solution.  Here is what I did:

 

1. Formatted a 16 GB USB thumb drive to HFS (Mac file system)

 

2. Transferred the file to the HFS Formatted thumb drive

 

3. Put an Ubuntu Linux 9.10 Live CD into my Windows based PC and booted to the live CD

 

4. Plugged the thumb drive into the PC

 

5. Transferred the file from the HFS formatted thumb drive to the C:\ drive on the Windows PC

 

6.  Restarted the Computer, took the Ubuntu Live CD out and logged into Windows to find my file intact

 

Hopefully this will help someone out there who runs into a similar situation, if you like this post, leave me a comment, if you have questions, contact me.

Delmonico's Stakehouse

Delmonico’s Stakehouse in Rochester, NY is one of the best restaurants in the Western NY region.  It has a great atmosphere, lots of kool caricatures on the wall and the service is always friendly and prompt.  Everytime I have gone into the restaurant, it has been a pleasant, positive experience, which is hard to say for many places.

 

The food is outstanding, the best stake in town, (Black & Blue is a close 2nd) and everything that comes from the kitchen is delectable.  They have a great variety of appetizers and entrees to choose from with very reasonable pricing.  Their wine selection is fantastic as well.

 

If you are in Rochester, NY and want a nice meal, this is the first place I would recommend, if you don’t believe me, look at some of the reviews from other local people.
