[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1584972, member: 131855"] Fat 32 formatted disks have a size limit such that no single file can be larger than 4GB. If I remember correctly the same limit applies regardless of whether the machine in question is a Mac or PC. There's been a lot written about that error on the web but I can't detect a specific pattern. I got the error recently because the drive I was copying to had some directory structure issues. [/QUOTE]
