The filename can not be more than 25 characters (I believe this is the number). Fat32 does not support filenames as long as NTFS does. Try reducing the length of the file name. Hope this helps.

Well, I figured it out I think. WD support told me that since the HD is FAT32 format, I can not copy files larger than 4.0GB in size. I have to backup and then format the drive to NTFS. It sound correct but I would like someone to verify that this is correct because I do not want to spend...

Well as for the write-protect, I have never set that and I use this drive on a daily basis. I back up all my movies, games, music, etc. I just never had it this full. Disk Management shows that there is 298.02GB Total and 112.71GB Free(37%). I am stumped. This makes no sense to me. I am going to...

Ok I have got some pretty good help from everyone on here so far so lets see if anyone can figure this one out. I have a WD Passport 320GB External Drive and it shows 298GB Available. Ok fine. Now it says I still have 185GB used and 112GB free. But here is the problem, I can not copy any more...

Ok thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

great thanks. I think I will just buy a new one and get the warranty and all. Any good recommendations on Brands/Models? Thanks. Running: Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHz ABIT IP35-E 2GB Corsair XMS2 ddr2-800 EVGA 8800GT Superclocked Edition w/ Scythe Musashi Cooler WD Caviar 250GB 7200RPM HDD WD...

Most likely. The processor is a little slow but sufficient. If not high setting then at least med/high settings and probably a little higher framerate.

I was wondering what size UPS I should use for my computer. I am running an Antec Earthwatts 500W PS and I just got for free an OMNI Tripp Lite (model number: OMNI SMART675) but it needs new batteries. I was wondering if it would power my system and if it would be worth buying the batteries for it?

This one has got me stumped. have you tried to repair the windows installation?

well for one, I've ad the same issue and added more thermal paste and it worked. also, I found a few other threads showing the same. You both make a good point as well, no doubt, but I figured I would throw in my little experience as well.

I have heard nothing but good reviews and saw a lot of good test results with the ZALMAN CNPS 9500 and the ZALMAN CNPS 9700. 10-15c colder than stock or more.

Clear the CMOS. If that does not work, try flashing the BIOS with the latest version. Then reinstall OS. Post back with results.

Yes you can run it. Prob not at max settings but you can run it at a decent playable frame rate. It will be fine.

did you update all new/latest drivers from manufacturer's websites?

They are nowhere near max temps. They are not bad at all, but you could try puting a little more or arctic silver thermal paste on there and reseating the heatsink and that may reduce a few degrees. Post back with results.
