PNY usb 2.0 8gb

[tvfreak]

I bought a 8gb usb drive.
I recently dl a file that was about 4.5gb. But for some reason when i tried transferring the video file over to my usb, it said that it didn't have enough space????

The file is hdtv 720p x264.

I don't get it???? I was able to transfer smaller files with no issues.

Any ideas why? Unless the file is larger then what it states.

Format to NTFS

FAT32 is limited to 4GB files.

There is no option to format it to ntfs. its only exfat which won't let me format to that.

I believe Win XP allows you to format NTFS on USB Flash because I remembered formatting 8GB USB Flash drive. But I can't remember how I did this. Sorry

For some reason there wasn't a drop down menu for ntfs. It was only fat32 or exfat (whatever that is).
So i used my buddies tablet, which he had windows 8rt and i was able to format it to ntfs. That worked.
I also have an older 2gb flash drive from few yrs ago and i believe i was able to format it to ntfs. But i can't remember.

Oh well it solved now.
