Any help will be appreciated.
I have 4.5gb file and I cannot copy it to my usb ext Hard Disk
drive, eventhough my usb ext Hard Disk drive has got enough space.
I can only copy it through a network but this takes time depending
on the network speed.
Any help or this s a limitation on Windows XP or I need to
customise few settings?
This is a limitation of the file system you have chosen to format your
External Hard Disk Drive with - almost certainly.
FAT32? File Size limit of 2GB.
Either format it with NTFS or split your file into smaller than 2GB chunks
and recombine when you get it to where you are moving it.. Or burn it to a
DVD..
