    Wondering if you guys can help me out here

    I have a 120g external harddrive and I'm trying to tranfer some of my files from my computer

    I'm able to transfer most of them until I run into my large files

    ex. Movie 4.5g

    but I know there's way more than enough spaces in the external drive

    It gives me a "Not enough free disk space error"

    Is your hard drive formatted to FAT (most externals are).. if so the maximum file size is 4GB, anything over and it will say you don't have enough room.

    Format to NTFS for larger file sizes.
