    Backing up some files and noticed my pc wont let me backup a 7gig file to my usb backup hard drive?

    I konw it something to do with my fat32 drive setup, but was wondering if there is a way to cut up the file into smaller chuncks to transfer it accross without converting the drive to ntfs?

    is there a zip program that could do it in chunks for me?

    Ta.

    Fat32 wont allow single files that big. Reformat the drive to NTFS.
