Re: HELP! external hard drive problem
Fat32 is limited to 4 GB file size, the only option is to use the 'convert' command to convert the drive to NTFS. If it is only used on windows machines it will be fine, there is no data loss on using this command to go from FAT32 to NTFS, but the only way to go back to FAt32 is to format the drive. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/214579
