bought an external usb hard drive yesterday.
any reason as to why it wont transfer a 5gb mkv file from my internal hd, saying there isnt enough room when it's an empty 1tb hard drive?
also, i've tried d/ling the files straight to the hard drive and they dont unpack properly, so are unwatchable
smaller files (1.5gb tv shows) seems to transfer no problem
are there size restrictions on these things?

Re: hard drives and big files
Is the new drive formatted as FAT32? You will be limited to 4gb with it.Toucan wrote:bought an external usb hard drive yesterday.
