Trying to transfer a 5.2Gb movie of my Hdd to my WD 'My Book' which has 422Gb of spare space and Windows keeps telling me there's not enough space on it?

Any suggestions??

Cheers

716400 2008-11-01 01:05:00 Thats probably why, FAT32 has a limit of 4 GB

You'll have to convert it to NTFS, if you want to copy files over 4 GB to it

716404 2008-11-01 01:18:00 Umm no, you dont have to format it Speedy Gonzales (78)
716405 2008-11-01 01:22:00 What OS are you running?

Just run the conversion app built into the OS, unless you are using Win98 then your stuffed.
