Didnt see this one coming... After ripping a bluray disk to my laptops hard drive, I wanted to transfer the 32 gig folder to my NAS Iomega harddrive. The transfer would quit half way thru. I then connected the drive to my laptop thru USB and got "File too large for destination file system" Its a FAT32.. What do I do now?!?!? How do you guys move your BIG files around?

I hate to ask the obvious, but what are you doing with anything that is still formatted using a FAT32 filesystem?

I think it's time you converted/upgraded your filesystems.

Valid Question...My hardrive is a year old and I bought it and just plugged it in... Is Fat32 my problem?

Well, it's not "your problem" but now "it's your problem". <G>.

If the hard drive came preformatted, it was probably preformatted with a fat32 filesystem to ensure compatibility with everything.

If you are using a "current" operating system (Win2K or better) you can convert the filesystem from fat32 to NTFS without issue.

This Microsoft article explains it.

Once you have converted the external drive to fat32 your should be able to copy back and forth with no problem.
