Says I do not have enough free space

[handoverfist]

Just bought a external hdd. It shows that there is 174 gigs of unused space, but when I try to move the file over it says there is not enough disk space. Any ideas on what is going wrong? Thanks

What filesystem?

The hdd I am moving the file from is NTFS. Not sure about the external hdd, as this is my 1st experience with them.

If it's formatted FAT32, the largest allowed file size is 4 Gig. FAT is limited to 2 Gig files.

You need to format the external drive to the NTFS file system. Check your documentation. RTFM!!!
