Is this a known problem, I seem not be able to copy any file that is above 4GB from W2K server. He gives error message that there is not enough space on the destination while I actually have over 100GB free space

Any help

Your destination drive is probably formatted under FAT32,
which limits file sizes to 4GB.

You'll find the drive is formatted with FAT32 instead of NTFS. This 4GB
limit is a known issue of FAT32. If you convert the drive to NTFS it
will resolve the issue.

Open a CMD prompt and type
convert /?
press enter
for further guidance.

Hope that helps
