have some computer files that are 4+ gig. Every time I attempt to move them to a different drive, it says that drive is full. Yet I have 100,276, whatever gig free (plenty for the file).

Is there a "wall" in xp's system that wont allow me to do this?

I see that in Vista, on the command line,

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

will fix lag time with large files, not sure about XP

Try copy, then delete instead of move?

Some hard drive file systems won't accept files that large. What file system is the drive you're trying to move it to formatted in?

i move large files all the time on xp...i moved 30gbs of files from one hard drive to another....you could try zipping them up to make them smaller

My PC has a 320gig hd, partitioned out to 3 sizes.

I have tried moving it across the 3 diff partitions, wont go.

I am wanting to moving it to an external drive that is 1tb, that has 276gig of space left. Wont go.

I tried another external 1tb that has 100gig left. No go.

I have not tried copy, then delete.

just tried copy. No go

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

netsch is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

eh, thats likely the problem then. And I have no space to transfer this stuff off, and reformat the thing.

Live n learn!!

file struture is it.

I have another drive, 320gig USB1 NTFS

Its transfering over to it.... taking 2hrs for a 5.6gig file

ok, that drive was bad. But it was given to me.

Installed a different drive into that case, were on a roll now, lol.
