I am running Win2000 sp3 with the LBA registry entry in place:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Parameters]
"EnableBigLba"=dword:00000001

I have a 160GB IDE drive that is nearly full, and I'm trying to copy to a USB
2.0 160 GB drive that has 60 GB free. The USB drive is formatting with FAT32,
the IDE drive is formatted with NTFS.

When I try to copy an 8GB file over to the USB drive (there is plenty of room)
using the windows file manager, I get an error of:

Error copying file or folder
cannot copy xxxx: There is not enough free disk space.

The trash is empty.

How can I resolve this?

FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit. Converting the file system to NTFS would
remove this limit.

Best regards

Bjorn
