1.	Solve : Problem with harddrive?
Answer» not sure if this is a hardware problem... i have a seagate 320gb HDD in FAT32, and when i tried to copy a 5 GB FILE into the drive, it tells me there is not enough space, even though there is nothing in the drive???Fat32 has a 4Gb file limit size. The EASIEST solution is to convert the drive or PARTITION to ntfs. Quote from: ALLAN on March 02, 2010, 06:13:08 AM Fat32 has a 4Gb file limit size. The easiest solution is to convert the drive or partition to ntfs. but i need to use it with Mac and PC for work. any other way to do this?Not other than using a file-splitting utility...no. Quote from: iamyourmom on March 02, 2010, 06:20:57 AM but i need to use it with Mac and PC for work. any other way to do this? I'm not familiar with PC/Mac compatibility, but is there some reason an NTFS file SYSTEM would be a problem? Quote from: Allan on March 02, 2010, 06:23:45 AM I'm not familiar with PC/Mac compatibility, but is there some reason an NTFS file system would be a problem? yeah. cause i need FAT32 to read/write in mac. NTFS can only read in mac.OK. Then as patio suggested you might want to try file splitting sw such as: http://www.spadixbd.com/freetools/jsplit.htmcheers guys. used HJsplit instead That's fine.
