darkip Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I'm having a problem where when I start a torrent it says there is not enough disk space but there is, the torrent is only 4gigs and I have 150gigs free. I am using an external USB disk and have run 'chkdsk' on it and found no errors.I am using the latest beta version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkip Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Thanks! Completely forgot the drive was in FAT32 format.For others reference, to convert to NTFS:1. Start > Run > cmd2. Type: convert *: /fs:ntfs(* being the drive letter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inf Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Actually, i wouldnt rush to convert an external HD to NTFS format, i'd better leave it FAT32 to keep it accessable under more OS-es than just WinNT kernel based ones, but thats just a personal preference.

Firon Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I'd turn it into NTFS. Linux distros can all read NTFS just fine (and with Captive NTFS, write too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
