Windows 7 how do i move large files

[ladouceurk]

I have a 30 GB file on my desktop and I want to move it to an external hard drive. In Win 7 it just won't go! Cut/paste, move to, nothing. How can it be done?

Try a utility like fastcopy.

If not, it might just be taking a long time. You might just want to wait for windows to finish its stuff.

Is your external drive formatted NTFS?

+1 -- (If formatted under FAT32 the max file size is 4GB and anything over that will not be able to be saved.)

Hi

DRAG and DROP, but as said it will take an hour or two...

All the best Brett
