not sure if this is a hardware problem...
i have a seagate 320gb HDD in FAT32, and when i tried to copy a 5 GB file into the drive, it tells me there is not enough space, even though there is nothing in the drive???
-
Fat32 has a 4Gb file limit size. The easiest solution is to convert the drive or partition to ntfs.

Not other than using a file-splitting utility...no.

I'm not familiar with PC/Mac compatibility, but is there some reason an NTFS file system would be a problem?

yeah. cause i need FAT32 to read/write in mac. NTFS can only read in mac.

OK. Then as patio suggested you might want to try file splitting sw such as: http://www.spadixbd.com/freetools/jsplit.htm

That's fine.
