USB transfer

[ssttaagg]

Hello.
I have a Acer AX3400 and when i try to transfer a file that is 4.5gig to a 32gig usb it says that the file it too big for the usb.
After many times tring to do it i gave up in the end and i'm lost and it is blowing my mine as 4.5 will fit into 32 when i was at school or have things changed that much.
Any help with this will be very welcome.

whats the usb stick formatted as? If its fat32 there is a file size limit PER file.... Make sure its formated for NTFS

Just looked it up.. Fat32 has a 4gig per file limit size

Thank you plasma, it was set to fat32.

You can also format it to exFAT, it's not necessary to be ntfs.

exFAT = extendedFAT?

yup
and it supports file sizes bigger than 4Gb, just like ntfs.
