Can't copy because it's too big even though it isn't?

Post by coodude25 »

Hi, I ask this on this board because you guys have always been so helpful, this is just a question about a weird problem with windows.

I have a screenshot here that exactly explains my problem, but I will also include text incase you don't understand right away.

I am trying to put a winrar archive onto my external harddrive (G:) and it has more than enough space to fit the 6 gigs of the winrar file, but it says there is not enough disc space.

Any ideas would be appreciated,
thanks in advance

with so much free space there, there's no reason that should fail. i honestly have no idea what to say...

maybe try moving the file in safe mode, or splitting it into seperate parts?
