Try formatting the thumb drive. Try NTFS. If that doesn't work, separate the file into parts. I use WinRAR. However, there are several freeware programs that would do it.

thumb drive's are FAT32 on all computers, try to format it, then try copping the file again, if it does not work, you will have to split the file as suggested, I have put 4 GIG files on a thumb drive with no problems. another thing to think of, once the file says it was copied, it still has to make the drive index (like closing a disc after burning it), or the file will not be readable, so let it sit about a minute after it is done copping the file, before trying to check it.

I'm making an assumption that you are using Window XP. Vista, Win7, or Win8. If that is the case the USB should be formatted for NTFS. not FAT32.

I wish I could be of help, but so awfully sorry I haven't encountered problems similar to yours since I haven't copied files larger than 3Gig.

I wish I had an answer to that plea for help but my files are so much smaller and even at 30 or 40 files I have no problem with my PNY III 32 GB USB 2.0

When formatted properly there was plenty of space. Around 30 I think. But drive died after 2 months.

Do be honest I am not sure, but I downloaded a TON of stuff and simply moved to an SD card. I had no problems with space at all.

Not really, I've copied everything from 4GB to 64GB. The original size and the copy size should be the same. Ex: 32GB to 32GB or 4GB to 4GBGreat machine, works very well.

Sounds like you need to format it through the disk utility app (mac) or by right clicking the drive and selecting format (windows).

put the blank disc into the drive. right click on the drive's icon. Then left click on "Properties". this should then display the total disc space, and also how much, if any, is not available due to formatting allocation etc. or, just try to copy an 8.15 gb file to the dvd-dl blank disc and see what the heck happens. worst case, you make a coaster out of it, best case it accepts it all. good luck!

You cant, the drive is a cheap scam. The chip in it tells your computer it has 256gb of storage but in reality it probably has less than 1gb. This scam is successful because most people wont return this and just figure it a loss.

I'm not clear what you are asking. The length of the files, how wide, or something else. Please clarify.

Look for Overview of Disk Management in Admin Tools and format your disc using GPT. Then you will see all 4tb (though you won't get all 4tb, nobody does.)

This been formated in FAT32, so 4gb is a maximum to transfer for 1 file. But you can still change its type to NTFS then everything will be OK.

The short answer is yes. My C drive shows 95.3 GB and the D drive shows 121 GB.

I've would suggest not installing a previously used drive (assuming you have an old 5400rpm drive lying around, hence your question). When I installed a used drive (not formatted) it crashed the system. It only seems to like new, formatted drives. Mine does happen to be a 7200rpm WD

Yes, I just did it a few minutes ago. The file was 7.67gb, took about 2 minutes and 40 seconds to copy. I got mine for $39.99 before Christmas, wish I had bought a couple more! Great and fast drive!

Try formating it in other than FAT32. I use NTFS, which allowes me to copy larger files etc.

Check to see if the location you were downloading them to (hard drive? USB stick?) is full. If not, then the OS just hiccuped. Of course you can start where it stopped--just highlight the uncopied files & use the computer's Copy command.

I dunno if it's a formatting thing, but I tried to plug in my portable 120GB external drive, and it blanked. My 1GB stick came up with a menu though, so there's gotta be a size limit somewhere, I just don't know where it it.
