I can't copy a file bigger then 4gb and i don't know why. It says: File is too large for destination file system This happens just on windows 7. Previously i had XP and didn't have this problem. Can someone help me with this. TY
 
Did you by chance format the partition as fat32 when you installed windows 7? If so that's why.
 
yes you are right the partition is fat32 f***. Is there anyway to convert the drive into NTFS without format :D
 
Yep, it's a one way process and is not destructive, having said that I would backup anything important.

Start a command prompt and type convert "drive letter": /fs:ntfs where "drive letter" is your drive letter :D, note the space before the forward slash.

If a program is in use it will ask you if you want it done on your next startup, so shut down anything running.
