File is too large for destination file system” error OR "file too large to transfer" ERRORS

| |

HAVE U GOT AN ERROR LIKE THIS IN WINDOWS 7

"File is too large for destination file system"

THIS TYPE OF ERROR NEVER COMES IF YOU ARE USING A NTFS FILE SYSTEM.

WHEN I GOT THIS ERROR MY HARDISK WAS ONLY 120 GB FULL AND THERE WAS ABOUT MORE THAN 700GB FREE SPACE, I WAS WONDERING WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT  "File is too large for destination file system"

I GOT THE ERROR BECAUSE MY HARDISK FORMAT WAS FAT32  WHEN I GOOGLED THAT WHAT I FOUND THAT

The max file size for FAT32 is 4GB. The max file size for FAT16 is only 2GB!

So how do you fix this problem? Well there are two ways you can go about it. You can either split the file into smaller pieces and then copy it to your external hard drive or you can convert the file system to NTFS, where there is no limit on file sizes. 

EVEN THERE ARE SOME SOFTWARES AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET THAT CAN HELP YOU FOR THAT..

I HOPE YOU LIKED MY POST
