Bought a 32GB USB, I want to transfer files bigger than 4gb without having to split them but I can't seem to get it to format to NTFS. I'm on vista 64 btw.
I've tried:
- Properties > format to NTFS
- Command promt > Convert H: /FS:NTFS
- Device manager > Setting the USB to 'Optimize for performance' instead of 'Optimize for quick removal' and then formatting.
- Making vista see it as a local disk, got as far as making a custom .inf file and install that as my driver software but I get when I go to apply it.
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it's designed to work with windows for x64 bits based system. "
Any advice on fixing the above error message, getting the usb to format to NTFS or a way in which I can transfer files to it larger than 4gb without splitting them?
