Problem with a hard drive

I have a 1 terra byte hard drive I'm copying AVI videos to. It shows 220 GB free, yet telling me it's full when I try to copy onto it.

Any suggestions why?

maybe you tried to copy a file bigger than 4GB to a FAT32 partition?

or maybe the file you are trying to copy to the hard drive is bigger then the space allowed on the hard drive? OR maybe when you installed it you didn't partition it and formated it right? *Shrugs*

If I was you, just get a new one.

No need to fill the drive fully, they are so cheap these days.

I buy a harddrive and plug it into the usb using a hardrive case.

Once I fill it I buy a new one.

I would not buy huge drives but small ones as if it fails you do not loose everything.

Will try that. Thanks.

Fungus it's an old one and has no partitions.

Adam, yes. want to get as much as possible on the older ones, then back them up again.

Getting a lot of enquiries on AVI these days and want to get them all in order. Got 500 or more x 4-5 GB each. Do the maths. LOL

Leaving the last 10% of the drive "empty" will not prolong its life in any way.
