- not enough free disk space, but 123gb free
- Posted by mysecretsrmine on October 29th, 2007
Im trying to move a 4.22GB file to my external hard dive, and keep getting
the error
"can't copy file. There is not enough free disk space."When i check how much
free space i have left on my external drive it says 123GB free. How can I
move the file?
Im running XP and the external drive is an acomadata 250gb drive.

It's probably FAT32. Use NTFS unless other OSs need to write it.

There's a variety of things that can produce that result.
One is that you have too many entrys in the root directory
where there is a limit to the total number allowed.
Try moving some of the files in the root to a folder in the root
and see if that allows that file to be copied to the drive.

I agree with Eric. Most external drives come preformatted as FAT32
and FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit
