David Heffernan posted a custom filestream here: Buffered files (for faster disk access)
It works on files less than 2 GB without problems and is very fast. On files greater than 2GB it fails around 1.90 GB consistently. The error is:
Project1.exe raised exception class EStreamError with message 'SetFilePointerEx failed for C:\Projects\Huge.txt. An Attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file'. Process stopped.

Buffer: PByte;

try
while (bufStreamIN.Position < J) do
begin
BytesRead := bfStreamIN.Read(Buffer^, bufsz);
NumberOfBytes := NumberOfBytes + BytesRead;
SetLength(strTmp, BytesRead);
strTmp := Copy(PAnsiChar(Buffer), 1, BytesRead);
bufStreamOut.WriteBuffer(Pointer(strTmp)^, Length(strTmp));
StrTmp := '';
strmsize := j - NumberOfBytes;
if strmsize > BytesRead then
bfStreamIN.Position := bfStreamIN.Seek(BytesRead, soFromCurrent)
else bfStreamIN.Position := bfStreamIN.Seek(strmsize, soFromCurrent);
ProgressBar1.Position := 100*bfStreamIN.Position div J;

end;
finally
Memo1.Lines.Add('Done');
end;
finally
FreeMem(Buffer);
bufStreamIN.Free;
bufStreamOut.Free;
end;`
This works on files less than 2GB without problems and even works without checking size of stream left to read here:
if strmsize > BytesRead then
bfStreamIN.Position := bfStreamIN.Seek(BytesRead, soFromCurrent)
else bfStreamIN.Position := bfStreamIN.Seek(strmsize, soFromCurrent);
such as this which works on files less than 2GB:
bufStreamIN.Position := bufStreamIN.Seek(NumberOfBytes, soFromBeginning);
I use Delphi 7 32bit and my OS is Win 7 64bit with 4GB RAM I used JCL's TJclBufferedStream and it works very well on that Huge file without problems. Only problem is that it is much much slower.
In my DPR I have used this as was suggested by another post I read in order to use higher memory but here I think it is not memory problem: {$SetPEFlags $0020}

1. A call to Write is made when the cache is full.
2. A call to Write is made and FPosition is outside the cache (this
must be as a result of a call to Seek).
3. The class is destroyed.
Note that data can be read from these streams but the reading is not
cached and in fact a read operation will flush the cache before
attempting to read the data.
