file too big?

[HFS+]

why cant i store anything over 4gb on my 16gb flash drive?

FAT32 will only support a file up to 4GB. If you want to store larger files, you will need to convert to NTFS.

or exFAT

go with exFAT, it is better than NTFS for USB flash drives, in fact it was made specifically for flash drives

Yeah! It?s too simple an indication that you are storing more than the storage space.

Hes wanting to move something over 4gb on a new flash drive because its not in exFAT

HFS+ works.

I've had some issues with exFAT recently. I have a 32GB USB3 thumbdrive which was formatted in exFAT. I took it to work to update my music folder at work where all of the computers are XP Pro SP3. According to Wikipedia, SP3 should support exFAT but when I inserted the thumbdrive, it popped up saying "this disk requires formatting". I tried a couple of machines but no joy.

As a result I've gone back to NTFS. Out of curiosity I did run CDM on both file systems and the scores were the same, give or take a MB or two.

exFAT is supported on WinXP SP2 and SP3. In both you need to manually install it via

Ah, thats the answer. You would have thought it would have been included in Windows update.
