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

Hello David,

Excellent. I figured you knew the reason but just didn't see a

connection.

Its one of those bits of info I've got, but just do not encounter too often
to have it readily in the front of my mind. :-|

I could also blame a late friday evening (having a few pints) having to do
something with my slowness. :-)

Got a bit side-tracked by the not all to apropriate "disk full" message too.
:-\

Rudy Wieser

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 :-) .

By default...
* If a drive is less than 32GB then it is formatted using FAT32.
* If the drive is greater than 32GB then it is formatted using using

NTFS.
