moogly Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 What's your HD format? FAT32 or NTFS?If it's FAT32, convert into NTFS to save file > 4GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 You can convert into NTFS without reformatting, so you can keep your files safe.http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogly Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Converting is not instantaneous, especially when your HD is 1 TB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMarshall9o9 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 o0o i got a little further nd it says its dirty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 You have to stop access to this drive when you're converting it (stop uT etc).I dunno if your HD is dirty or not, just run chkdsk to clean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
