Quickly create large file on a Windows system

Question

In the same vein as Quickly create a large file on a Linux system, I\'d like to quickly create a large file on a Windows system. By large I\'m thinking 5 GB.

Answer 1

... 1 MB file dummy.txt within few seconds.

echo "This is just a sample line appended to create a big file.. " > dummy.txt for /L %i in (1,1,14) do type dummy.txt >> dummy.txt
