I have two harddrives. One (c:) is NTFS the other is
FAT32. I have kept it FAT32 so I can connect via direct
connect to a Win98 computer. I have a file on "c" which is
5.3gb when I try to copy it to the other drive I get a
message there is not enough space. The target drive has
18.5gb free according to the properties sheet and Windows
explorer.

Hi

FAT32 doesn't support files larger than 4 GB...
