OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Did you tell it to be FAT32?

OpenStudy (factor):

OpenStudy (factor):

OpenStudy (factor):

OpenStudy (factor):

i dont know how ot use it

OpenStudy (factor):

ya when i tried formating they are showing it is write protected

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Hmmm... I don't know if the partition table got messed up or what then. Might try using the drive manager to remove the partition then repartition and format from the drive manager.

OpenStudy (factor):

pls can u say me how

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Which windows?

OpenStudy (factor):

Thnx sir

OpenStudy (factor):

OpenStudy (factor):

i just set the option of default

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Oh?

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Sometimes that is a good choice.

OpenStudy (factor):

wait

OpenStudy (factor):

sir

OpenStudy (factor):

i browsed the web and i found out that

OpenStudy (factor):

fat32 has a limit of 4 gb gile size

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

For a single file, yes.

OpenStudy (factor):

ohh my god

OpenStudy (factor):

so it would be better if i convert to ntfs rite

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

The max drive size is 2TB under FAT32. It is popular because it is supported by Windows, Mac, and *NIX systems.

OpenStudy (factor):

okay now i ocnverted it to ntfs so i will be able to take 9 gb file size stuff rite

OpenStudy (factor):

reply plss sir

OpenStudy (factor):

reply sir plsss

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

A lot more than a 9gb file. If you have a really large, single file, NTFS will work.

OpenStudy (factor):

thnx
