File too large to move

Azza · 3 Dec 2009 at 21:19

Trying to copy/cut some files onto my external hard drive and keep getting an error saying the file to too large to be copied to the destination folder.

What the?!?

Anyone know how to get past this?

Thanks.

FAT32 - guessing it's because of this?

And seems to be any file > 4GB

Plenty of freespace, 339GB

I take it your internal drive isn't that big/not enough room?

You could use neil's suggestion. Never tried it myself though. Can't remember the last time I saw FAT32 on anything other than a USB drive.

Only 250GB.

Sure I can figure something out, maybe copy it all over only my computer hard drives then format it and copy everything back.

Hmmmm
