Hi guys,
I'm new to backing up so please go easy on me. I bought a Buffalo 1TB external hard drive (HD-CE1.OTU2-EU) and like some other people on previous forums ran into the same problem where the disk says it's full when there is still over 800GB available. From searching these forums I have seen that a way round this is to reformat the drive double checking it is set to NTFS. However, it also says when doing this, it will DELETE all files you already have on it.
So...
- Is there any way I can copy files bigger than 4GB without having to delete all my current data?
- If reformatted, is it then guaranteed I can copy over larger files? Or may I run into a similar problem e.g. if I want to copy a 10GB file in the future?
- FYI, I have already right clicked on the properties of the drive, and ostensibly it looks like it already is NTFS format
Thanks for your help,
Steve
