Bootcamp, will this ruin the partition?

I have a file that is over 4 GB, so i cannot transfer it onto my external hdd. My question is, can i drop the file into the windows partition? Will everything be ok?

I was going to put it in Windows> Users> Joshy Woshy> Desktop

I think it should work, i just wanted to double check in case i fooked it.

On a side note, why cant you transfer files over 4 gigs to external drives. Just seems stupid to me!!!!

Thanks

There is no problem transferring files over 4 GB to external drives.
Unless you have the external drive formatted as FAT32. Then you have a problem, as FAT32 has that limitation.

The same with transferring the file to any windows partition. If it is formatted as FAT32, nope, can't do it. If it is formated as NTFS, then it's not a problem. Except that OS X can't write to NTFS partitions without some software allowing this capability.
