I bought this Buffalo External HDD model today, but I'm already experiencing some problems with it, actually one problem and it's big.
I can't trasnfer movies, games (big files 4gb and more) to my externalhdd.On 88% or so, it gives me an error that the disc is full. I can trasnfer small files like music, but not movies. Any help? Why it keeps giving me this error
Buffalo sells all external hard drives in a universal file system called FAT32. Buffalo does not know if your going to use this for a PC or a Mac or even a Linux machine. Fat 32 is recognized by all computer types however it has many limitations; one of them being that it only supports up to 4 gigs in one file.
In order to fix this your going to need to format the drive in your computers native file system.
does this mean that I have to format my laptops HDD in order to transfer files to Buffalo, or do I have to format Buffalos external hdd? I'm sorry, but I'm new to this problem
never mind I got this done. I had to format my externall hdd... you moderators should be more helpful, doesn't matter if you're talking to a newb or not, or if the problem is easy to solve or not. Topic closed.
