Hi all,
I have a 250 GB USB external HDD with FAT32 partition. I wanted to
copy the isos of GNU/Linux distros onto it, but when the size of the
file is> 4GB, I get an error message saying "file size too large".
Format it with ext3. It supports file sizes upto 16 gigs. If you use the
drive on windows, use NTFS. It should support file sizes greater than 4
gigs. =)
