For what it's worth. I recently bought DriveImage 7.0 to image my C: drive
to my external USB 2.0 40GB hard drive. I was curious to see it made 4
files instead of one, each having about 4GB of data. I wondered if my USB
drive being formatted with FAT 32 was the reason. I used MS help files and
found that to be the case. So I reformatted my USB drive to NTFS and now it
images into just one file.

Thought some of you might be interested in that fact.
 
Fat32 partitions are limited to 4 gig maximum file size. Format the drive as
NTFS. File size is limited by the size of the drive.
