Technique Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 USB pen drive: 14.8GB free (it's a 16GB stick with nothing on it). Next to 14.8GB it says (15,917,375,488). The file i'm wanting to put on there is an Acronis True Image backup file. It was stated as about 55GB, but when compressed & i right click & hit properties it states 13.6GB (14,655,634,432). Yet i can't copy the backup file as it's too large for the destination drive. How is that when the figures say not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Method Man Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Is the USB drive using FAT32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John.D Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 You have to format it in NTFS. FAT32 only supports files up to 4 GB teknix360 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted January 19, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 19, 2013 Either that or separate it into less than 4GB zip/rar parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambroos Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 How is it compressed? Using Windows' NTFS compression or with actual compression (ZIP, RAR, 7ZIP, ...)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
