Having a problem with my portable hard drive.

[SyphinXero]

Whats up everyone. Like my Subject heading says I am having a problem with my port hard drive. I have 23 GB free and I would like to put a 6 GB file on it. However it continually gives me the error "There is not enough free disk space. Delete one or more files to free disk space, then try again. This is odd because i have been continually deleting and deleting stuff from my portable hard driver to be able to put this file on to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like the file format of the drive is FAT32 instead of NTFS or some other FS that can handle files larger than 4GB. You'll need to either reformat the drive (backup everything first) or break up the 6GB file with an archiver (like winrar).
