File size fail.

This is me trying to copy a cd image of mirrors edge to my external HD
as you can see the cd image is 6.08gb and I have 146gb free space....

Is there something you've been meaning to tell us?

No it was doing this at a lan party all weekend, I couldn't copy anything 6gb+
But I was copying stuff that was 3 and 4 gb.

I came back from the lan party with 200-300gb of more files.

Hurray for file sharing!!!

Friends never buy the same programs

Ok wtf fail?

I have just about 100GB of stuff, with more than 100GB of space to dick around in.

I found out what was wrong, thanks to the internets.

My external is formatted as FAT32 which apparently FAT32 drives can't have any 4gb+ files copyied to it. But it is more than happy to have 4gb+ files on a FAT32 drive...

fail much? lol

i literally just went through the same problem a couple weeks ago, you have to convert the FAT32 volume to NFTS, its real simple.

trying to move some games onto my external, had the same problem.

Yeah I never will convert my external for a couple reasons.

1.) don't have enough space on pc to back up EVERYTHING.

2.) I USE LINUX.

with No. 2 in mind 1 doesn't even matter or need to be said.

Linux and Windows 7 both have xFAT support now, you could try formatting it like that (except for problem 1)

so far you are starting to make me jealous, what processor and graphics?

2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB memory (upgraded to 8GB)
Dual 500GB 7200-rpm hard drives
NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics
Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard


And yes its a Mac Mini.

and it owns my desktop in everything lol.

Mind you I am upgrading the ram to 4gb, but your upgrading to 8 >.<

I don't know how configurable new Apple machines are, but if possible I would get a better CPU over more RAM. Getting an extra 4 gigs of RAM will give you less of a performance boost than getting processor that runs at, say, 3.4GHz.

Ill see what i can dooo....
