Copying 2,3 Gig file in DOS?

Ok this is odd, But is there any way i can copy a 2.3 gig file in DOS??

Basically, my DVD (half) drive died, bringing windows XP with it. I have a backup image i can restore, and i can boot off cd into the restore prog - but then it wont read the drive to load the image.. So i have the image on a portable USB drive, which can be seen under dos in "windows XP Recovery".. But it wont copy and im guessing its the file size..

I might look for an external DVD drive, but any way to copy a 2.3 gig file via DOS?

cheers.

 

Search for a program call XTreeGold for DOS it fit on a 3 1/2 disk but i am not shure it will copy a files that BIG at least you could try.....

 

Heres one to split it up- on a cd (or??)should work for you small and free!

that sounds good.. And then DOS will be able to recreate from the bat file?

 

Well ive managed to split them, but it seems the DOS that XP Recovery loads cant handle the re-assembly of the file!! damn.

Looking for another bootable dos disc now that might work.
