Default Copying a 6 GB file onto a 16 GB empty USB memory stick causes a "disk full" message ?
Geo,

Could it be a counterfeit flash drive?

Everything is possible., I'll have to check it.

But I think David asked the right question, it just didn't register with me
until a bit later : FAT32 has a file-size limit of 4 GByte (thanks David H.
Lipman :-) .

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

The format is Fat32. It does return the correct free space, both in
"windows explorer" as to a DIR command.
