The size of a RAR archive, as well as the size of any single file within a RAR archive, is limited to 8,589,934,591 GB (9,223,372,036,854,775,807 bytes). Note that to create archives larger than 4 GB, you need to use NTFS, as older file systems do not support such large files.
the first section in the help file - limitations
so if you are rinning fat32 filesystem (liek in windows 98 etc - even xp will allow you to still us e it) you need to upgrare to NTFS

I pressume this must be a limitation of the file system as already stated - I am on XP using NTFS, and extracted 8.9gb a little while ago....
NTFS is N T File System - a different type of disk file structure used by Windows NT, 2000, and XP etc.... An advanced file system designed for use specifically within the Windows NT operating system. It supports file system recovery, extremely large storage media, long filenames, and various features for the POSIX subsystem. It also supports object-oriented applications by treating all files as objects with user-defined and system-defined attributes.

even though you are on xp pro - your hard disc may be using fat 32 file system, the way to find out is go to my computer,
right click on your hard disc icon and click on properties,
it then lists the label, type and file system, your may say FAT32 , it shoud be NTFS,
taken from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...onvertfat.mspx
this link explains how to convert, there is no advantage to having the older FAT32 system, its just that some hardware in the past couldnt support it so it wasnt used..

File Allocation Table (FAT)
A file system used by MS-DOS and other Windows-based operating systems to organize and manage files. The file allocation table (FAT) is a data structure that Windows creates when you format a volume by using the FAT or FAT32 file systems. Windows stores information about each file in the FAT so that it can retrieve the file later.
FAT32
A derivative of the file allocation table (FAT) file system. FAT32 supports smaller cluster sizes and larger volumes than FAT, which results in more efficient space allocation on FAT32 volumes.
NTFS File System
An advanced file system that provides performance, security, reliability, and advanced features that are not found in any version of FAT. For example, NTFS guarantees volume consistency by using standard transaction logging and recovery techniques. If a system fails, NTFS uses its log file and checkpoint information to restore the consistency of the file system. In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, NTFS also provides advanced features such as file and folder permissions, encryption, disk quotas, and compression.
