    USB Flash Drive Mistery


    Hi all,

    I have a SanDisk Cruzer Blade *8Gb* flash drive.

    I am able to load almost 8Gb of data on it, but when I try to transfer one particular file of 4.8Gb. Windows says there's no room available (flash drive is empty)

    Any ideas???

    Thanks and regards!!!

    P.S.: Windows 7 Ultimate 32bits.

    How do you have the USB drive formatted? If it is FAT32, I believe it has a 4 GB max file size. Try reformatting the drive as NTFS and remember to get any info off it first before you format.

    YES!!!! Right on target....
    I *NEVER* thought it was NTFS/FAT related.
    Thank you so much.
