Hello Bob,
Maybe I don't understand contiguous free space, the bkf file is 32 gigs, and
the external drive is 76 gigs, and even with the other files on the external
i still have 36 gigs of free space?????????

Wasn't enough contiguous free space to put it down in one piece.

contiguous = UNfragmented

If there are little files dropped here and there in the free space, a
file as large as 32 gig has to write around them. Fragments the file.
Don't worry about it. Not worth bothering about.
