Rendering Errors with After Effects (PC)

[father dev]

I'm trying to render a composition on After Effects at full resolution which is probably going to come out at 10Gb or so (I want to get convert it to Mpeg-2 then put it on DVD). However, every time I try to render it, whether to .mov or .avi, the render aborts half way through. When I check the file size of the part-rendered composition, it's always 3.99Gb. It seems I can't render anything bigger than this even though I've got 30Gb disk space available. How can I create a rendered file thats bigger than this? Does the answer lie in my After Effects settings or is it a problem with my hard-drive?

Please help.

you need to format your hard drive to NTFS or render out to targa or tiff files and encode those (better idea)
