I'm trying to copy a 7.6 GB file to my computer running
Windows 2000. Logged in as administrator, I do the copy
but it says "error disk full". It shows the drive as
having 100 GB of free space. What am I doing wrong?

Is the drive formatted with Fat32?

The disk over 100GB could not be formatted with Fat32!
