I don't think the http stack currently support that large files.
But even if it did - remember that the data is thrown out as soon as
the Windows kernel is loaded (I'm assuming it has windows on it)
That would result in a 0x7B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE BSoD
Since windows does not have any information about where or how this
data is located in memory.

You should find some other way to load your disk, iSCSI for example.
