If not, then I'm not sure why you mentioned FAT32 at all.In that same thinking, error code 0 is directly related to FAT formatted drives.

see this error when you are attempting to copy files to an external hard drive that is formatted as FAT. FAT32 is a Windows file system that can be read and written to by Mac OS X.

There is no reliable way to force FAT32 to accept file sizes larger than 4GB, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5206823?start=0&tstart=0 and FAT16 is an even older file system with worse limitations of 2GB file sizes. Do note that if you want a drive to be properly accessible by both Mac OS X and Windows, you can format the drive as NTFS, and use an NTFS mounter for Mac OS X to try and write to the drive, however NTFS is not officially supported by Apple and you may run into some problems when writing data to the destination device. You're much better off using a FAT file system if http://osxdaily.com/2010/05/07/copy-error-code-0/ you want true Mac and Windows compatibility with a drive, and as long as you avoid enormous files or copy them directly between a Mac and PC - and not the intermediary disk drive - you won't see those Error Code 0 messages in the Finder when trying to copy anything.

I'm trying to copy large video files (+ 4.5 gigs) to an external drive formatted in FAT32 through Mac OS Snow Leopard. I get the 'error code 0' that apparently is a limitation in macOS when dealing with FAT32, limiting the size of files copied. Reformatting the external drive is not an option. I've tried using the windows emulator 'Crossover 10,' but it doesn't do the trick. Also, Pathfinder doesn't seem to avert the file transfer glitch. My question is whether I could VMWare Fusion or something similar as a workaround. posted by rudster to Computers & Internet (8 answers total) Fat32 has a file size limitation of 4gb.

You'll need an NTFS file system as a destination, or split up the file into two or more chunks which are both under the 4 GB limit.posted by Blazecock Pileon at 2:55 AM on March 14, 2011 [1 favorite] You'll need an NTFS file system as a destination, or split up the file into two or more chunks which are both under the 4 GB limit. Or do a bit of compression to get the file under the limit. What's the current length and compression scheme (including bitrate, if applicable) and what will the file be used for?posted by Mayor Curley at 3:42 AM on March 14, 2011 As others have said, this is a FAT32 issue. You don't need to use NTFS, though. Snow Leopard natively supports exfat (aka FAT64), and so do recent versions of Windows. You can format to exfat from within Disk Utility. If you really can't reformat the drive at all,
