[QUOTE="kleen_guy, post: 1342765, member: 224824"] Yes its a FAT32 system, meaning 4.29gb is the absolute max it can handle. I heard you can reformat a usb flash drive to a NTFS system and this should solve the problem? However I have heard that formating it to a NTFS system means that its a read only format for macs which is useless because I want to load the 7gb file into it. I installed a nice little program that splits up the file, and this program then rejoins the files back to a single file, but I noticed when it joins back up, it will stop to process after the file reaches 4.29gb in size (FAT32 limit), so again I'm at a loss. How do peope these days transfer large media files via USB flash drive? In this day and age big files are becoming common place yet the current hardware isn't up to snuff. [/QUOTE]
