External HD Mishaps

[Mo0by]

Well, basically I need to transfer large files on to my Iomega USB external hard drive. Unfortunately even though the maximum for FAT32 is 4gb, it cant seem to copy files larger than 200mb!

This is annoying as Ive also filled up my disk space on my actual hd's.


I've heard that you can format a drive to NTFS, which might solve the problem (?) What is that and how do I do it?:confused:


Thanks in advance :eek:
