In Linux it is possible to split big files, say ISO's into smaller, user defined chunks. For example, to split a 5Gb ISO into 250Mb chunks, open a bash terminal and type:
split -b250m filename.ISO iso-split
When run the filename>ISO file is split into 250 MegaByte chunks and iso-split is prefix of generated file(s).
To restore the file(s) back into one chunk type:
cat iso-split* > NEWFILENAME
If you need to rejoin the file in windows then go to a command prompt and type:
type filepart1 filepart2 > filefull
Where filepart1, 2 etc are the chunks made by the linux split command
