I've got some video files on an old drive that has started making noises when I use it. Each video file is about 4.05 GBs. So I thought that I'd copy several of these files to a jumpdrive and plug the jump drive into the video player instead of the disk drive. I bought a 64 GB Sandisk.
Hmmmmmm, when I try to copy a 4.05 GB file to the 64 GB jumpdrive the system says the destination is full. But of course when I do a "Properties" on the drive it says there is 63 GB available.
Is there something I'm missing?????
I don’t believe exFAT works with windows does it?
Perhaps it is only incompatible when the drive was formatted using Apple? Otherwise exFAT should work with windows it appears.
If the “Sandisk” you refer to is an SD drive, it came formatted in FAT32 and won’t accommodate so large a file. Reformat it in NTFS and you’re Bob’s nephew.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
