NTbackup quits with "End of Media" on large USB HD

[Rob at RSD]

At the 4gb limit NTbackup.exe quits with the message, "End
of media encountered while backup up to non-removable
media." OK, I think I have a clue: The large USB HD is
formatted FAT32. While there are really about 60GB left,
NT doesn't think it can see beyond 4GB.

Can I solve this by converting the HD to NTFS? I don't
plan to let W2k compress the files.

TIA,

Rob

Yes, it's because it's FAT32 - if you can convert it to NTFS, do it.

Thanks, it worked. Now that my system is restored to the
new HD, I just need to get networking working again.
That's for another post.

Thanks for your help,
