Pretty soon I found the following in the log… 6568 8:45:21.4215702 AM Explorer.EXE 1436 CreateFile R:\Picture 200.JPG 0xC00002EA Desired Access: Generic Write, Read Attributes, Delete, Disposition: Create, Options: Sequential Access, Synchronous IO error copying file or folder windows 10 Non-Alert, Non-Directory File, Attributes: A, ShareMode: , AllocationSize: 0 This status code - 0xC00002EA is something that I was totally unaware of.

capacity of your external flash drive is large: 8GB, 16GB, or more. There is enough free space on the drive. You can copy the smaller files to the external drive just fine. Yet, when you attempt https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/rahulso/2007/11/17/file-copy-issue-while-trying-to-copy-the-files-to-my-usb-drive/ to copy a large file (4GB or larger) to the external drive, Windows gives you an error (such as: There is not enough free space on the drive, or similar.) Does this sound familiar? If you experience such a problem, most probably it's caused by the fact that your flash drive is formatted with the FAT32 file system. This type of a file system has a built-in limitation on the size of http://www.winability.com/why-cant-i-copy-large-files-over-4gb-to-my-usb-flash-drive/ the files that it may contain. Although the total size of the files that you can copy to a FAT32 drive could be as large as 2TB (or the physical capacity of the drive, whichever is smaller), the size of each individual file may not exceed 4GB. This limitation may sound silly: why would anyone design a system that would not allow for the larger files? The problem is, when the FAT32 file system was designed (that was back in the days of Windows 95), no one anticipated that we would have such large files in use today. Or, maybe the designers hoped that by the time such large files become common, the use of the FAT32 system would be replaced by the more modern systems. In any case, how to solve the problem of copying the 4GB files? Easy: you need to replace the FAT32 file system on the drive with the NTFS file system. The latter does not have the 4GB file size limitation, and it also allows for many other functions not supported by FAT32: file security, encryption, compression, etc. One caveat, however: the older versions of Windows (such as Windows 95, 98, or Windows Millennium, remember those?) do not support the NTFS file system.

Dear How-To Geek, I recently purchased a 64GB USB 3.0 flash error copying drive, plugged it into my computer, and started copying some files onto it I wanted to transfer to another computer.

First, let's explain why you couldn't copy it in the first place: the flash drive's file system. A file system, which is a separate thing from an operating system and other mechanisms on a computer, is an organizational scheme used to control how data is stored and retrieved on a a given storage medium (like a hard disk, a DVD disc, or a removable flash drive). There are a multitude of file systems in the world that have features big and small that are useful (and even mission critical to the applications they are used in) such as native error checking and correction, journaling, permission schemes, and more. Nearly every flash drive in the world ships formatted as with the FAT32 file system. FAT32 isn't the most robust file system around but it has been around for ages, it is widely supported, and most of the time the applications one would use a flash drive for do not require the advanced features found in other file systems (and, in fact, some of those adv
