M mijogr New Member Nov 6, 2008 #1 i want to back up approx 65 gigs of data to a 320 gig external hard drive. I get a message saying it can only transfer 4 gigs data because the ext hddd has a FAT 32 file system. What is this and how do i get around it?

Windows has a utility to do it. I think there is a GUI version but the command line version is called convert.exe
