[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1126352, member: 24160"] Then yes, you'll need to either format the drive to HFS or FAT32 which will of course erase everything on the drive. Or, you need to enable OS X to write to NTFS. I recommend Paragon's NTFS for Mac OS X. They've had it on sale lately at half price - $20 - worth it imho. A quick google will take you right to it. (btw, when someone asks for file size, it means individual file size or the range of individual file sizes, not the total amount of all the files. In this case, the reason is that FAT32 is incapable of storing single files larger than 4GB in size.) [/QUOTE]
