[QUOTE="chscag, post: 710346, member: 46727"] I don't understand why your external hard drive won't work? Do any of the files exceed 4 Gb? FAT-32 is limited in file size to 4 Gb. Also..... Are you trying to transfer the files to the root directory of the external hard drive? You do realize that any MSDOS formatted drive is limited to the amount of files that can be saved to its root directory. The root directory will fill quickly especially if the file names are long. The work around is to create sub folders on the external hard drive and save the music files to the sub folders instead. Regards. [/QUOTE]
