Steps to solve the "file is too large for destination file system."

Anonymous

These directions don't work to solve this problem because I cannot "right click on command prompt." I don't see how to do that following the "click System Tools" step. What should I be looking for? Nothing I click on brings up the "run as adminstrator" option. HELP!!

Let’s try converting the drive to a NTFS and NoSecurity setting. This can be done by:

· Click the Start Orb

· Click All Programs

· Click Accessories

· Click System Tools

· Right click Command Prompt

· Click Run as Administrator

· Enter the command, convert <drive> /fs:ntfs /nosecurity (<drive should be the drive letter of your external hard drive, for example convert F: /fs:ntfs /nosecurity )
