Hello.

I have the n56u with a 2TB Western Digital MyBook HDD plugged into the USB to store movies and music on and stream to my television.

Currently on the drive, I have 29Gb of music and 198 GB of video. However, when trying to copy more files over ( a 1.5Gb file in this case) I get a message that the drive is full and I need to delete some stuff to make more room. Obviously this is not correct with a 2TB drive but regardless something is making my computer think that it is.

Any logical reason why this would do that? What can I do to fix it?

i am kind of a newb at this type of stuff.

thanks
