Can't move large .avi to external drive (even tho' there's room)

I have a 100Gb qMemoryDrive that has about 50Gb free, however when I
try to move a 10Gb .avi file to it, it says there is not enough room!

I've tried ckdisk, defragging but everytime I try to drag that file
over to the drive it give me that message.

The File System for my c:/ drive is NTFS and the File System for the
external is FAT32, could this have anything to do with it?

Why does the extrernal drive think it doesn't have enough room?


TIA!
