I have a 500gig WD external HD "My Book" and I can't copy any large files over because it says that the file is too large for the destination space. I have over 350gigs available and I want to copy over a 6gig .iso file. What is happening here?

*edit* I just noticed that the external HD is FAT32 and my C: is NTFS... looks like I have to do some formatting.

Bingo! 4GB per file limit on FAT32.
