PC_LOAD_LETTER Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 what is the file system on the target usb HDD? if its FAT32 then youll need to change the format to NTFS or split the file since FAT32 wont do files 4gb+and ive copied 20+ Gb single file with teracopy so i can tell you its not a limitation of that software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarun Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 You could try RichCopy, it's a multithreaded copying tool by MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgyvr Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 You don't need ANY special tool to copy a 6gb file. Just drag and drop with Windows Explorer. It works just fine. I keep hundreds of DVD rips on my drive and move them around all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narayanaswamy Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Apart from the FAT32 issue, u can try this software also..http://www.roadkil.net/downloads/unstopcp-4b.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
