Solve : Windows XP reports the drive full when it's not even half full and no bad sector? |
|
Answer» I am trying to move files between drives and/or computers. Look in Disk Management and see what it says about free space, and if there is any unallocted space. It says I have all of the disk available and the REMAINDER free but I didn't notice allocated space; I wil check that. ThanksActually, you shouldn't have un-allocated space. That could cause lack of space problem. What is EXACT error message?The message is "cannot copy 'filename': there is not enough free disk space"How big is the file, or you can't copy any file? Quote The (video) files that I am trying to move are about 4gb.Can you try copying them one at a time (or like in a group of about 100-200mb)Thanks, Carbon. It must be bed time, since I stopped seeing correctly...LOL Jeremiah I suspect, your hard drive is in FAT32 format. There is 4GB limitation there.The answer. Thank you mucho! So you got the data transferred?No, but now at LEAST I know why. I don't have the xp disk (tiger direct didn't include that in the deal) so I'm stuck with the fat32. I would like to do NTSC but don't have a disk. Thanks for the info. I was trying to do files over 4g.You can split those files to parts smaller, than 4GB. I use GSplit: http://www.gdgsoft.com/gsplit/I can't understand why Tiger Direct would sell the computer with FAT32 on it in the first place. And then, when I called up to ask what the problem was they told me that they don't support after 30 days. Really poor service. I won't be using them again. I really appreciate the help you guys have given.You're welcome You shouldn't need an XP CD to convert from FAT32 to NTFS... Tiger Direct will ship you a restore CD however if you yell loud enough. |
