Disk size problems

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Hi, I have a problem with one of my computers.
The available disk space is 9Gb (as reported by disc preferences), but when
I try to copy a file of 4.5 Gb from my other computer it reports that I don't
have enough available disc space. Smaller files is no problem to copy.
It has worked before, but my computer crashed a few days ago, so it probably
has something to do with the problem....
I have tried chkdisk, defrag and also rolled back to an earlier system point
but still the same problem.
Please, does anyone have an idea to fix it?

Hi, thanks for the answer, but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem.
Any more ideas?
