Firon Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 FAT32 cannot save files over 4GB. You must convert to NTFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proteus5 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 OHHH ok .. I thought that only applied when you were saving all the .rar 'ed files. I guess FAT32 can't handle one file that is bigger then 4 GIGS. This explains why I can download over four GIGs of .VOB files because there is more then one. Ok I know this might be a dumb question but when I buy a HD does it come in either NTFS or FAT32 or is that something I have to do to the hard drive after I buy it? Can I just buy a 500 GIG external USB NTFS Hard Drive ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 You can convert it yourself. C/o searching "convert" on here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307881 and http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=324000#p324000 (the help text when you use the help command on CONVERT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Just to note, you won't lose any data when converting to NTFS. But you can't convert back without formatting the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
