abrogard Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have winxp sp2. I recently got a 1 Terabyte external drive and I'm moving stuff onto it. Yesterday I tried to move a 5 gig file and I got a message 'not enough free disk space'. The file is actually 5339432kb Earlier I moved a file of just more than 4gig without a problem. Is there some mysterious barrier at 5gig here or something? regards, ab :) p.s. WOOPS........ Fat32 isn't it? I just remembered. 4gig size limit. I need to convert to NTFS. If I could I'd delete the question, the whole thread, but I don't think I can do that. So just assume I've answered the questions myself and the thread is done. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Most of these drives need formatting as you have found out. A lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
