Hey all,

So I have a WD USB2 Passport 250GB (2.5" SATA) 2MB cache (IIRC) FAT32 formatted on WinXP32. And on the drive I have more than 100GB free. When I try and copy any large files (seems like any over ~2GB), it tells me I have inadequate free space on the drive. Now if I copy 10GB worth of 300MB sized files, it works fine.

What gives? Am I missing something? Thanks
 
FAT32 has a file size limit of 4 GB. You may have to reformat the drive as NTFS.
 
Thats what I thought it could be. Thanks for the speedy reply
