Can anyone advise me how I can convert a USB Memory 8Gb Stick to use the NTFS
File System as the only option which XP Pro offers is FAT32 which is a
problem as I want to use this to move Disk Images which are 4.7Gb and
therefore too big for a single file in FAT32. I would be very grateful if
someone could help me

Unix/linux has a program called split that breaks a file into
manageable sizes. It has been massaged and compiled for dos.
I find much information by entering the name into a search
engine.

A program called merge reconnects the resulting files.
