I have the game GT5 on my pc, which I would like to put on my external-hard drive.

I formatted the external hard drive in fat32. When I go to grab the file(BCES00569) and drop into the hard drive. I get an error message saying there is not enough room on the external hard drive.

The folder(BCES00569) contains 13.7G. Is there something I am missing? or is there another way around this?

thanks

Create a folder in the external HDD called PS3 and the copy and paste BCEs00569 into that folder so it should look like this...

"PS3/BCES00569"

FAT32 can't handle file sizes as big as what you are trying to copy into the root directory FAT32 is an old file system FAT32 was a patch/update for the fact the FAT couldn't handle file sizes over 4GB and although newer than FAT it's still an old format type.
